I am knitting some squares for a patchwork. I read about crocheting them together, but have no idea how to!?
Kaffe fassett said in one of his books that every member of his family knits a square for a blanket when a new baby is born and then his sister crotchets them together. I really like the idea of this rather than sewing my knitted pieces together. Can anyone help?
Here are some sites that will help you:
