Crocheting With Fabric

I received a few emails with questions about how to crochet with fabric. The first link below will explain how to get the fabric into strips and then how to crochet with them. You have to use a very large hook and you won't have the stretching ability that you have with yarn. Otherwise you crochet just the same as you normally do. The second link will lead you to some places that tell you how to make some rugs, the next link will give you some basket links. The last link will take you to the Crochet Dudes site where he has a good photo and pattern on making a fabric bowl. So go take a look and give some a try. They work up very quickly and would make great Christmas gifts.
