The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs
by Linda Schapper & Barabara Busch A fantastic reference! Since many knitters dabble in crochet (and vice versa), this book is great to have on the shelf. It starts with a section of illustrated basic crochet stitches, including single, half double, double, treble, bobble, puff stitch, popcorn, cluster, picot, shell and crossed stitches. There is also a comprehensive list of international crochet symbols to help in deciphering crochet charts. There is a pictorial index of all 500 stitch patterns so you can quickly locate the one you want, or just browse for ideas. Every pattern has a close-up picture and is charted and accompanied by written directions. Seeing the chart right next to each picture of crocheted fabric will increase your understanding of crochet stitches and how they work together to form a pattern. This is classy crochet – from simple textured surfaces to lacy open work patterns, stripes both vertical and horizontal, undulating fans and shells, plus raised designs. 500 stitch patterns—352 pages | Hardcover Item No. 30944 Retail: $29.95 Your Cost: $17.97 Save 40%
