Crochet for Kids


I recently started a new page on Facebook - Crochet for Kids.

I post easy patterns with little or no color changes, small patterns that can be finished quickly, and all are free crochet patterns found on Ravelry.

The first pattern I have created for kids is Simple Yellow Kitty, a free crochet pattern on Ravelry.

This pattern has no abbreviations to make it more easy to understand for kids who don't know what these abbreviations stand for. The head and body is also made in one piece.



Here are also the recent patterns I have shared on my Facebook page, that should be great for kids and beginners to crochet...

Crocheting through both sides of an arm/leg/ear/tail together.

In almost all of my patterns the arms, legs, ears, tail, and other pieces are done by chaining 1 and crocheting through both sides at the same time. These pictures will help you understand what this means... Ch 1, fold in half Put your crochet hook through both sides, making a sc. Sc across in this same way. You should end up with half the amount of sts.  Example - if you had 20 you will now have 10.  This is how your finished end should look. Here is the final leg to The Adorable Dragon .
