Crochet Ninja

I received Creepy Cute Crochet for my birthday and had yet to try it. Honestly, trying to crochet intimidated me, even though I've knitted before. Well, I decided to just sit down and practice and eventually got the hang of it. Trying to keep your tension the same is a little tricky, but it's less painful on your hands compared to knitting.

I decided to try one of the easier patterns and made a white ninja for my husband. It turned out pretty dern well for a first! He stands about 5 inches tall and is not a happy ninja! I think the neck is a little skinny, but check out the crochet throwing star! Seriously tiny!
I think that this book has some really great patterns for first time crocheters. It does not have how to do the different stitches, so I recommend either checking that out online or buying one of those first time crochet books. I always think having some cool project to work towards instead of just a scarf sometimes keeps you motivated.

OH! I also recommend checking out this video by Wiremysoul on Instructables. It really helps with getting started when you can see someone else do the steps first.

Good luck and keep crafting!!
