About this book

This is a classic guide to crochet, a process of creating fabric from yarn, thread, or other material strands using a crochet hook. It offers the reader step-by-step instructions for the different techniques of crocheting, teaching them how to produce a variety of designs and simple garments in no time at all and requiring little previous experience. Ideal for beginners and seasoned knitters alike! Contents include: "Materials", "Tools", "Stitches", "Chain Stitch", "Double Crochet", "Variations of Double Crochet", "Treble", "Double and Triple Treble", "Half Treble", "Slipstitch or Single Crochet", "Abbreviations", "American Terms", "Increasing and Decreasing", "Pattern Repeats", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on crochet.
