Learn to Crochet

For those of you who like my patterns, but are new to crochet and don't know where to start, here are my beginner patterns.  All of them come with photo tutorials and detailed instructions.

Each pattern is small so they don't take forever to make.  You can find a crochet abbreviation sheet here and diagram symbols here.  This link helps you learn to read a crochet pattern.
