Crochet allows you to make beautiful patterns in a wide array of objects from skirts to hats to little animals and people. There is no end to what the imagination can paint with crochet. I personally am better at blankets and amigurumi, the small animals and people that can be crocheted. However, I've seen many creations by other, better, hobbiests and its amazing what they can come up with. Clothing is the most surprising one for me as the exact measurments and stitches are required to get sizes down and make it possible to be worn.
