Synopsis

Designed as a complete beginner’s course, this guide starts with the essentials: tools and materials, how to hold a hook, making first stitches, fastening off, and reading a pattern. Step-by-step photographs support each stage, while the fold-out abbreviations flap keeps key terms close to hand.

Eight modern projects are used to introduce and reinforce techniques as you progress, including increasing and decreasing, changing colour, and joining seams. Projects include eco-friendly washcloths and make-up pads, a chevron blanket, a scarf with tassels, a ribbed beanie with a pompom, a mesh shopping bag, flower coasters that can be worn as brooches or hair slides, a granny square blanket or pillow cover, and a cuddly toy. Suitable for readers making their first stitches or returning to the basics.
