Part of the fun of crocheting is finding and experimenting with new types of stitches. This collection of stitches can be used for: afghans, sweaters, hats, baby items, or anything you might want to crochet with your hooks. You're not going to find any mention here of gauge because you can crochet these stitches with any type or size of yarn you choose; from bulky to the finest lace weight thread. Have fun making swatches with these patterns.
