Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Hardest Thing To Crochet?
There are many things we can crochet but its difficulty depends on the crochet pattern, the style, and how large the project is. Although there isn’t any one crochet project that is the most difficult, there are some that are harder to learn than others.
For example, crocheting a cardigan can be difficult as it takes patience and a lot of manual work.
How Long Does A Crochet Piece Take To Finish?
This depends on the project you are creating. Certain crocheting projects require more yarn than others or more detailed stitching. Based on this a crochet piece can take anywhere from half an hour to three hours to several days.
Is There A Difference Between Crocheting And Knitting?
There is a common thought that many people have – crocheting and knitting are the same. That is completely wrong. In actual fact, these two differ quite a bit. With crochet it only requires a single hook which binds the yarn together into one piece. Knitting, on the other hand, requires two much larger knitting needles and concerns itself with moving one loop to another.
