Note: This site uses
American crochet terminology. I have a
chart showing the difference
here.
Below are my tutorials.
If you want to print JUST the tutorial (for your personal use only), highlight
the part you want to print, and choose "selection" when your printer box comes
up.
About.com has better instructions on how to do this if you need more
help. I also have tutorials for sale in pdf format for teachers. See teacher
packets on this
page.

If you like, you
can subscribe to my e-mail list at yahoogroup. This is an ANNOUNCEMENT list
only, NOT a chat group. All e-mails come only from me and let you know when
there is a significant update to the Cabana.
Thanks for being a part of the
Crochet Cabana family!
Special thanks
to Katy and Diane for starting me on the road to crocheting
(summer 1980).
If you find any errors
please let me know so that I can correct them.
I get many requests for this or that
pattern.
I cannot give out patterns that are copyrighted
- don't ask me.
If you are looking for patterns,
there are several ways to find
them. Do a web search, join a crochet list, put a message on several
message boards, check Ebay or half.com, buy online or at a local bookstore or other outlet, or use your local
library inter-library loan. Please note that any requests for
copyrighted patterns will be
ignored.
Also, please remember that
I am a person just like you, with a life outside of the internet. I answer
all my e-mails and really enjoy hearing from you all. Please understand when
I cannot take the time to crochet an item you are having trouble with, so I
can explain how to do it.
Please also be sure to put crochet or something relevant in the subject
line. I do not open e-mails that have no subject line or that just say
"hello" or "hi" and many times these end up in my spam box and I never see
them.
To
EMAIL ME click on the button below.

Note: No offense meant, but when I
answer your e-mail, please do not add me to
your address book and begin to send me all your "forwards". I know these can
be cute or inspirational, but with thousands of visitors to the site, this
can get overwhelming quite soon.

Lost my counter several times so I don't really have an
accurate count of total visitors.
Crochet Cabana domain name was purchased March 2, 2001.

Please be careful
when searching the Internet. I did a search for "Crochet Cabana" and found a
site that claimed to have free patterns and mentioned the Granny Square
tutorial at Crochet Cabana. When I clicked on the link, it sent me to one
page which immediately redirected me to another page with pornographic
photos on it. Of course, I left the site immediately and notified Google of
this deception. Just read the URLs carefully before clicking. That's the
best you can do.
Caution:
I have seen other people using the name Crochet Cabana for web
sites and shops. I do not own this name so they are not doing anything
illegal, but I just wanted you to be aware that just because you see the
name Crochet Cabana, that does not mean it is THIS Crochet Cabana. I
want credit for what I do, but not for what others do, good or bad. Thanks!
