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. 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.
