Since all you need to create the fabric is some yarn, thread or any other material, your hands and a crochet hook, the process is widely adopted by many people across the world. Even though the art gets its name from France, courtesy of the small hook like crochet, the art has been perfected in other parts of the world. Understanding the basics of crocheting, therefore, is paramount before you try to master any patterns, be it Afghan or French patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51180348571969,"sku":"9781681858937","price":21.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/4014\/7521\/files\/Wm4vMVV3Zk1Xb3BuTlZQZkZlVnY0UT09.webp?v=1767321554"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/4014\/7521\/collections\/TU1GVUZoLzl5WlRGbU42T09VQndBQT09.webp?v=1767322088","url":"https:\/\/creationsbychickadee.com\/collections\/books.oembed","provider":"Creations by Chickadee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
