Crochet Resources

This crochet resources page is a guideline as to the difficulty ratings for my patterns and a resource to information and videos to help you along..

* I will add new links in time, if you have a link to crochet resources you find helpful and would like to share please leave me a comment below. *

My Crochet Tips:

Always take time to read a pattern over before beginning and take time to check your gauge. I use a metal yarn needle for sewing in ends.
