The Hooktionary - Brenda K.B. Anderson

From Brenda K. B. Anderson, The Hooktionary is a paperback crochet stitch dictionary dedicated to modern tapestry crochet motifs. Designed as a practical reference for makers who enjoy bold, graphic pattern work, it brings together 150 charted motifs ranging from playful characters to striking contemporary designs, alongside five projects that let you mix and match motifs to create personalised pieces.

Unlike pattern collections that focus on single crochet alone, this book explores how different stitches can be paired with tapestry crochet to achieve clearer, more defined results. Swatches are worked in five stitch patterns, with guidance on how stitch anatomy influences the drape and feel of the fabric and the appearance of the charted image. You’ll also find advice on choosing stitches, changing the motifs used, and fixing mistakes, plus detailed instructions for steeking in crochet.
