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.
A Beginner's Guide to Crochet is the perfect starting point for anyone wishing to learn how to crochet. It is a structured course of 20 workshops and projects, which starts by showing you how to hold your crochet hook and leads you through all the techniques and stitches you will ever need to know. ‘The Getting Started’ section provides advice on which yarns and equipment to buy, step-by-step illustrations show how to work all the stitches and there is 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. 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.
