The biggest benefit to crocheting is that you are carrying on a wonderful tradition that has been around for centuries. So many items you see in stores and at flea markets are mass-produced, made-in-China articles that have no love sewn into them. When you crochet something for yourself or as a gift, you put your care and attention into the production.

I have some beautiful tatting and crochet pieces that were made by my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmothers. I cherish these and love to look at them and think about the old days, when my foremothers sat around creating these beautiful works. That is why crocheting is so beneficial!

Crocheting can be very relaxing, and is often recommended by doctors or therapists for people that have anxieties and need to focus to keep their mind off other things.

Keep a small crochet project in a tote bag in the car for when you're at the doctor or anywhere else where you have to wait. It makes the time pass quicker and is more productive than just sitting there.

You can make many inexpensive and lovely gifts for just about anyone on your list with just a few simple crochet stitches - dishcloths, afghans, slippers, scarves, hats, mittens - you name it. I don't know anyone that wouldn't enjoy a gift handcrafted with love.

You can also sell your craft at local sales, or one of many places online.

Crocheting can help reduce stress. It is actually very relaxing. Plus you can make alot of great gifts for people. You can find tons of free crochet patterns online just by doing a search so you don't have to go crazy buying patterns. You can make clothing, items to sell at craft bazaars such as magnets, and ornaments, toy dolls for children, Barbie doll clothes, and more. You can also make really nice baby clothes too. The craft is very inexpensive since yarn doesn't cost that much and the crochet hooks you can get online at eBay very cheap in a set. People love to get handmade items as gifts.

Actually the Crochet can be an expensive craft. I figured out the money I spent on a blanket with red heart acrylic yarn is around $60. I asked other crocheters on Facebook. They also said it is expensive.

First of all, I want to say that I love crocheting. I don't like to make afghans and such as much as I like to crochet doilies. I find it very relaxing...I can watch tv and crochet at the same time. I can talk to friends and crochet at the same time. Since, I only make doilies the crochet cotton needed is quite cheap, so it doesn't take a lot of money. Crocheting is very easy to learn. How to books were great for me. You can crochet little preemie hats, booties, blankets etc for hospitals. It is very rewarding. Lap afghans can be made and passed on the old citizens complexes. Small or large things can be made and sold at craft sales. Crocheting and the like is a dieing art, so if one can crochet...count yourself lucky.
