Crochet is a traditional needlecraft that has truly stood the test of
time - in recent years a whole new generation of young people have taken
up this wonderfully versatile craft. Crochet is quick, easy-to-learn and
can produce a whole range of different effects, from chunky textured
fabric to delicate lacy patterns. This makes it perfect for creating
clothes for babies. Making use of the wide selection of yarns available,
from pure cotton pastels to soft and colourful wools, the 24 patterns in
this delightful book are really simple and can be created in just one or
two weekends. The designs include classic sweaters and tops, a duffle
coat, a lacy cardigan, a ski-style bobble hat and scarf set, bootees and
even some cute toys. Each project has clear instructions, full
information on yarns, stitches and techniques and beautiful photographs
of the finished garment. In addition, a chapter at the beginning of the
book covers basic information and essential techniques.
