Free Crochet Patterns

Even though there are many great self-help crochet books, you still need a human every now and then to help clarify a certain stitch in a pattern. It's best to go to someone you know in person and have them demonstrate it for you.

But when that's not possible because you simply just don't know anyone who crochets, you can resort to the internet.

There are many crochet forums where you can go and post your questions. Some of these are CrochetVille, Learn-Crochet-Now, SimplyCrochet, and a brand new forum ChrisCrossCrafts.

You can register with one or as many forums as you like. Once you're done registering, simply introduce yourself in the introduction thread and you're ready to start. Don't be afraid to jump in and start asking questions; there are many happy crocheters more than willing to help you out. What I like about these forums is that you can post pictures of your completed projects and look at other people's pictures for inspiration.

Another very good resource for helping you learn is YouTube. There you will find many crochet videos demonstrating how to do certain stitches and even how to do complete patterns. If you are totally new to crocheting I highly recommend you crochet along with some of these videos.
