A great resource for newbie hookers...
When we were learning to crochet, we found there was a real trove of free information, patterns and tutorials to be found online. Whilst these were amazingly helpful in getting us started, there was a little confusion in using them due to the differences in terminology between UK and US patterns.
We have already covered the different stitch terms and hook sizes in tables earlier in the blog. The final hurdle was the terms for the yarns suggested at the start of the patterns. It took a while before we realised that 'DK' or 'Double Knit' yarn is the same as 'Worsted Weight' yarn over in the states!
Here is yet another useful table to help you avoid any confusion as you get hooking.
There will be further fibre related posts each Wednesday. If you would like us to cover a particular subject one week, please comment or email us here.
