Crochet

Thank you for all these hints and tips. I shall post a photo when it is finished. Very kind of you all.

Why not make her a poncho to start. Just crochet 4 squares then put them together like a diamond with the middle missing. For summer you could make it in 3ply then make heavier ones for the winter.

Crochet round the neck but do not make a drawstring tie. You could however make a fake tie with two pom-poms at the front.

Can you make a granny square? If so this pattern in easy. It's is US terminology but easy to remember.

I don't have a pattern, I'm posting to wish you success. Good for you to get to grips with crochet.
I'm a speedy , experienced knitter but admire crochet patterns knowing I'll never do them.
Any time attempting crochet is time I could be knitting!
Well done to learn. It still takes commitment to master a new skill.
and to be fair I've been taught a number of times and all I've managed is a baby blanket when I was sixteen. Nothing since !
