However, hand me a hook and some yarn and I am good to go.

There are seemingly an infinite number of combinations out there which use 6 basic stitches. I am working on a blanket now which uses single, half-double and double crochet stitches to make a lovely shell. Not complicated at all.

Currently I am making samples to perfect the pattern and choose the right yarn/hook ratio. The end result will be a blanket in 4 shades of purple.

I re-taught myself to crochet using YouTube videos. There are some amazing instructors out there.
