When crocheting for children, you don't have to be so careful about attaching smaller things. For example, buttons for a crochet jacket or eyes on a small stuffed animal for your princess.

Free crochet patterns and the material needed

If you have downloaded one of the numerous free crochet guides and want to start right away, always remember that you should have all material and accessories ready. Fortunately, the amount of material is really manageable when crocheting. As soon as you have some nice crochet yarn and a matching crochet hook, you can start crocheting. However, it is always advisable to read through your crochet manual completely before you start, to see what additional material you might need. This could be buttons or other ornaments. And with the cute Amigurumi or with stuffed animals you will of course also need filling material. You can find all information about the material you need for the creation of your crochet work in the crochet tutorial.

However, a few things always remain the same. Of course, you need crochet yarn for your desired project. The colour is of course completely up to you, but as a beginner you should at least stick to the specification of the yarn thickness and the corresponding crochet hook. Of course, you can always customize it, but especially for clothing it is advisable to follow the instructions carefully. In addition, you should have a darning needle ready to sew the thread ends together and to sew any individual pieces together. Also, a round marker is sometimes quite helpful, especially when crocheting in spirals. If necessary, a short piece of thread in a different colour will do the trick. You can easily recognize the beginning of the round by this if you put it loosely into the stitch. Of course, buttons are often an important part of the crocheting patterns for jackets, but also for stuffed animals they are often used as a substitute for eyes. However, always consider who will use your crochet work later. Especially babies like to put everything in their mouth, so swallowable parts should be avoided. Now that you have prepared your material and all possible accessories are ready, you can finally start. We wish you a lot of crochet fun!

Free crochet patterns for left-handers

Left-handers also profit from the free crochet patterns which you can find here. You can crochet every pattern without problems even if you are left-handed.

This makes every crochet pattern a piece of cake for lefties and you'll get better and better with every new project. You will certainly not miss out on the fun this way and you will improve quickly. Have a look and choose a great crochet pattern. Your next project is already waiting for you.
