What You Need To Know Before You Crochet

So before we jump into crocheting, patterns and all that, let's talk yarn prep. Now, this step is not always necessary. If you've walked down the yarn isle at your local craft store, you would notice that there are many different textures to yarn. Soft, coarse, thick, thin, sachay, and others.  Sometimes the colors I want aren't in the textures that I want. For instance, the project I'm working on next is going to include my green and yellow yarn left over from another project. I did not previously soften this yarn because I didn't need to for my last project, but I will be using this yarn for a blanket and I'd like it to be softer.  After we soften it, it won't be this big fluffy yarn, it was just take away that itchy-ness from the yarn.

She loves everything girly, so I decided to make her a skirt with ruffles on it so she could twirl and make the skirt flow.  This was my first time making a skirt for a 4 year old. I have made this pattern before and I really like it. This was also my first time putting elastic into any of my crochet work. I like adding in an elastic waistband because then it will fit snuggly, and have some room for them to grow so it lasts longer. My niece is taller than most kids her age, so I found a pair of size 5 knee length shorts at the store, took measurements from that, and adjusted the pattern to that size. Here is the pattern I used: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2013/02/crochet-sashay-ruffle-toddle
