About this title

Synopsis

The latest fashion magazines are full of crocheted pieces, but beginning stitchers looking to tap into the trend might not know where to start. Ultimate Crochet Bible is the ideal guide for anyone casting the first time, but is also the definitive reference for more experienced practitioners who just need to brush up on a technique. Filled with more than 400 images, it explains exactly how to create garments, jewelry, accessories, and more, from the basic chain stitch to finishing touches like a picot trim. Additional topics include creating texture, structure and shaping, color work, and embellishments.

Reviews

The words “bible” and “reference” are not synonymous with “boring.” Crowfoot proves that as she promotes the art of crochet on every page of her excellent guide, beginning with an overview of the craft’s origins and its requirements and necessities (for instance, hooks, needles, and knowledge of how to read a chart). Each chapter truly exposes the how-to details, not only in words but also, most important, in oversize illustrations. Included are a well-explained section of basics (for instance, how to differentiate between front and reverse sides and how to work crochet for left-handed crafters) and specific stitch categories: texture and lace, thread, Tunisian entrelac, color, beads and sequins, edgings, and professional finishing techniques. Shaded sidebars answer typical novice questions, from ideas for storing hooks to how to keep rounds flat. A comprehensive book that belongs on every crafts shelf. --Barbara Jacobs
