Produktbeschreibung

A garden of delights to decorate clothes, create unique jewelry, and customize your home accessories-from bestselling author of The Knitter's Bible . Over two hundred all-new crochet stitches, embellishments and trims make this the one-stop shop for all creative crocheters. Every stitch is shown as a clear swatch to show the effect and texture, and the pattern is given both written and as an easy-to-follow diagram. Conveniently grouped crochet motifs, stitches and edgings allow for easy browsing and location of favorites. Crafters will learn how to make the best of the textural, 3D nature of crochet-perfect when fabrics and knitting just don't cut it. You'll discover how to fashion roses, daisies, sunflowers, and more to make your collars, curtains, and necklaces bloom!
