Love knitting? Make one of these hat knitting patterns for keep warm on the couch or a cozy gift. With different colors of yarn, these patterns would fit anyone’s style.
Thinking about taking up a hobby and wonder whether you should try knitting or crochet? Is knitting or crochet easier? I think crochet is but both are fairly easy to learn.
There is lots of different videos and beginner patterns in both knitting and crochet.
A great beginner project for either crochet or knitting is a dishcloth or headband. Try using the most basic stitches you learn and make one.
