| "Snakes and Ladders" by Michelle Krause |
In the early days of summer, way back in the dinosaur age, I learned to knit at about age 8. This post contains links for easy free patterns, perfect for vacations. Summer is the perfect time to learn to knit or to crochet, away at camp, sitting at home in the AC or vacationing. You can even teach yourself with YouTube videos. There is an abundance of free patterns, easy patterns like a dishcloth, which offer a quick path to success, and make useful gifts as well. Cotton yarn can be purchased for about $2.00, a pair of US 8 (5mm) straight needles, or an H hook, and you are on your way. Read on for other easy knitting projects paired with links for free patterns to knit and crochet.
Learn how to knit videos on YouTube are great for teaching yourself, seek out a crafty friend, visit your local yarn shop or library for basic beginner learn to knit classes.
