In this week pattern we’ll be sharing number of crochet punctuation marks. I found this a good idea since I’m working on my new project “Crochet Arabic Letters E-book” which is expected to be published in few months. [Edit: You can download the book now]. You can use these punctuation marks with the Arabic letters in the book once it’s publish, also it almost has the same technique that’ll give you an idea of how the Arabic letters pattern would be like. You can read all about the Crochet Arabic Letters Book in this page.

Notes:
To attach this marks to any materials you have three methods depends on your yarn that you used and the surface you’re attaching it to:
• If you used thin to medium thickness yarn it’s better to sew it using the remaining tail.
• If you used thick yarn it’s better to sew it using small needle with thin sewing thread or you can glue it using the glue gun.
• Use glue gun or any kind of glue if you’re attaching it to solid surface like wood or glass or plastic.
Additional note:
Keep in mind that this punctuation marks are in Arabic, that is why they may look a little bit different.
