Book Description

Restyled, and with fresh new photography, Crochet for the Absolute Beginner is the ideal novice’s guide, containing crochet expert Pauline Turner’s clear, step-by-step guidance, inspiring projects and helpful hints and tips.

'Here's the ideal novice's guide with clear guidance, inspiring projects and helpful hints and tips. The no-nonsense advice shows exactly what we should be doing and the projects increase in difficulty to challenge and inspire. The wire-bound format fits into a bag and sits open while the book is in use.'  Machine Knitting Monthly

The close-up photography and no-nonsense advice leads beginners through the basic stitches and techniques, showing them exactly what they should be doing, while the exciting projects from scarves and bags to lacework gradually increase in difficulty to challenge and inspire the reader as they progress through the book.

The smaller, wire-bound format is ideal for crafters, as it will fit comfortably into a bag and will sit open while in use for easy reference.
