Inside Crochet, Easy Crochet, and Simply Crochet are all very popular names of crocheting magazines! They are full of patterns of varying difficulty and stories and reviews.
There are many free patterns available online from yarn companies that will show you how to make an easy crocheted scarf for a child.
Neither is easier or harder. Some folks have an easier time learning to knit and some to crochet. It also depends on the pattern you tackle. Some patterns are very easy, using simple stitches. Other patterns are more difficult. Some designs might be easier in crochet, some in knitting. It is, for example, easier to do cables in knitting than in crochet though it is possible to do them in both crafts.
There are a number of options available for someone who is just beginning to crochet. Some simple ideas are to make things such as pot holders, dish cloths, or perhaps a winter scarf. The About website offers very good information for those just learning to crochet.
No. It's usually easiest to stitch it on with sewing thread, which is easy to hide in the yarn, but you can also sometimes use crochet.
When I have needed alphabets in crochet, I have done an online search for "needlepoint alphabet" or "cross stitch alphabet."The reason I like searching in these categories (needlepoint and cross-stitch), is because it's easy to convert to a filet crochet pattern. One stitch equals one block in filet. Some of the sites you find, will even convert something you type, into a pattern also. Although, there aren't that many places that do the conversion for you.
Yes. This has actually been done but it's not easy.
Easy patterns
Some of the most common patterns to make afgans are the "Granny Square" and the simple "Striped" afghan. The "ripple" is another common style. Each pattern is easy and can be made in a variety of colors. The most common styles use few complicated stitch combinations. Most are single or double crochet.
See links below. Ravelry is a free knit and crochet community, but registration is required to access the patterns. Registration is painless and does not result in spam. Their pattern library is the best anywhere and very easy to search. You can also find out who has completed the project or working on it to consult if you run into difficulty.
Quick & Easy Crochet is a magazine. It begins with the letter Q.
Any and all are 'easy', depending on your small motor skills and willingness to learn and practice.
