Adapted from Melissa Leapman's Indispensable Stitch Collection for Crocheters, this beautiful, comprehensive, and easy-to-tote stitch pattern companion is a must-have for your crochet project bag!
In a small, easy-to-tote format, Essential Crochet Next Level Stitches is a concise stitch dictionary featuring 100 stitch patterns for textures, colorwork, and fancy edgings.
This rich library of crochet stitch designs covers a wide range of patterns, from a braided cable to a reversible brocade to a delicate edging.
Each stitch pattern includes a photo of a finished swatch and both easy-to-read instructions and a stitch diagram using international symbols. Choose the format that makes you and your crochet hook happy.
Most of the patterns are original and accessible to most skill levels. If you've mastered looping yarn over your hook to create a simple chain, you already possess all the skills you need to create an infinite number of stitch patterns.
With information on how to read the patterns, shaping pieces, and designing from scratch, the stunning stitch patterns in Essential Crochet Next Level Stitches will serve as a launching pad for your own fun experimentation when creating unique designs for gorgeous hats, scarves, gloves, sweaters, vests, and more!
The Pocket Guides series from Quarry Books offer authoritative instruction and inspiration in a small-scale format that makes it easy to take with you on all your crafting adventures.
