Essential Crochet Books - Starter Stitches and Next Level Stitches

In a small, easy-to-tote format, Essential Crochet is a concise stitch dictionary featuring 100 stitch patterns.

• Starter Stitches has patterns for solids, shells and fans, openwork and lace, and simple edgings.

• Next Level has patterns for textures, colorwork, and fancy edgings.

• 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, these books will serve as inspiration for your own fun experimentation when creating unique designs for gorgeous hats, scarves, gloves, sweaters, vests, and more!
