Crochet help/Fancy crochet stitches
« on: 05 Jun 2007, 13:17 »

I'm a very very beginning crocheter. I pretty much know how to just do the regular sticth. All I've made is a bag, and a little wrist cuff thing. I've never used a pattern. Pretty much if I want to make someting I just look at it, and make it. I learn pretty quickly.

But now I want to learn some fancy stitches. I know how to knit, and I can do some fancy sticthes with that, but they are very limited. I also don't like to knit as much as I do crochet, so I'd like to learn more crocheting stuff.

I want to do these stitches.

Anybody know how? Or know of any good sites with fancy stitches, or any books I should pick up?

Thanks

can't make out the stitching on the top part, but the bottom of the tank is done in shell stitch.

as for books, i really recommend stitch n bitch the happy hooker by debbie stoller for great instructions for beginning crocheters and really nice patterns to get you started.

yay ^_^
