Crochet Cable/Cord Tidy Organiser… A stash buster… Free Pattern

Stop struggling with your tangled computer/phone cords & cables; keep them neat, tidy & organised with this simple & nifty little crochet item.

Super easy to make using up yarn from your stash. So easy that even an absolute beginner will have success with these.

Requirements: I used 4 ply crochet cotton & a 3.50 (US:E) hook. You will also need sharp scissors, darning needle for sewing in ends, Button for closure.

The pattern includes:
• both UK & US terminology
• clear stitch drawings & pattern diagrams (charts).
I can’t take credit for the idea; that came to me through a friend asking me for a pattern… I hope you find it easy & fun but above all practical.

A Beginners’ Crochet Notebook…

A Beginners’ Crochet Notebook… click here for the tutorial

I receive many, many emails from folk needing help with their crochet; not only from frustrated beginners, but also from those who have been crocheting for a while asking, what for some are, fairly basic questions… But there is no such thing as a silly, stupid or ‘I should know this’ type of query, even after many years of crocheting there are always new things to learn.

 

And so, I’ve put together this Beginners’ Crochet Notebook to help those of you who want to start crocheting but don’t know where to begin. And, even though I’ve written this notebook mainly with the novice in mind, that doesn’t mean the more experience crocheter won’t find a few helpful tips as well.

~What hooks to use with which yarn. 

~Which yarns are: animal, plant or synthetic. 

~How to read patterns. 

~What those scary, abbreviations & symbols mean…&  lots more.

 

I’ve done my best to gathered together answers to the most frequent questions I receive, but of course, it’s impossible to have an answer for everything. There is so much more information I could have included in this Notebook; so much more the reader might find useful; but it’s such a fine line between cramming in too much & overwhelming you.

Nevertheless, I trust this tutorial is a comprehensive journey through the crochet basics for the beginner & others, & that it encourages you to venture forth with a little more confidence & understanding of this wonderful craft.
