If you're just learning to crochet, or if you want to expand your hook and yarn repertoire to include Japanese patterns, we'd like to share a few resources with you.
According to Dana Beach (aka Craftyminx), creator of a comprehensive free online crochet school, "Crochet has a system of symbols that is internationally known and accepted called the International Crochet Symbol system. In fact, many Japanese patterns (which are usually the cutest patterns in my opinion) only have charts, so anyone can read them, because this system was developed in Japan sometime around the 1960s and people there have been using it longer."

Learn the basics of crochet symbols from Laura Eccleston from Happy Berry Crochet, and then check out the CraftFoxes crochet boards on Pinterest and have a ball (of yarn)!
