A step-by-step guide to crochet stitches and techniques, with 20 beautiful projects to make.
Have you ever thought that you'd like to learn the craft of crochet, or improve your skills? If so,
A Beginner's Guide to Crochet
is for you. Experienced teacher Nicki Trench has devised a structured course of 20 workshops and projects. The Getting Started section includes advice on which yarns and equipment to buy, step-by-step illustrations which show how to work all the stitches, and essential information on how to understand crochet patterns. This is followed by the workshops, each of which introduces new techniques and reinforces skills already learned. Each workshop finishes with a project which consolidates these skills, so you'll soon work your way up from crocheting the simplest of squares to creating your own garments. The projects range from items for the home, such as pillows, throws, and blankets, through to clothes and accessories, including a striped sweater and a cute camisole, a beanie hat, and a bobble bag.
