I too learned to crochet when I was very young, but I think the hardest part is to get the feel of how to hold your yarn. Seems like everyone has their own comfort area, and after practicing you will get the feel of holding the yarn. Then it is just remembering the stitches etc. I love to crochet, as did my grandmother, mom, and all my aunts. My grandmother could figure out a pattern by looking at it, but insisted that I learn to read a pattern (same with sewing) so I could sew anything. She was a very smart lady and I miss her terribly! Hoping my granddaughters will keep asking to sew with me.
