Synopsis

A classic of stitchwork, The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs has now been updated with all-new diagrams and full-color photography, and showcases 500 designs―from traditional favorites to originals found nowhere else.

There are soft and lacy patterns; some that mimic knitting, weaving, or patchwork; and others that use large openwork and popcorn stitches. Each stitch design features:

• A photo
• Reader-friendly instructions
• A diagram showing the stitch and its placement―so it’s easy to understand the entire design at a glance.

The guide also includes a pictorial index, which displays the complete pattern, and directions for all basic crochet stitches. Both beginners and experienced crocheters alike will turn to this invaluable reference for years to come.

A Main Selection of the Crafter's Choice Book Club.
