Crochet
Workshop is the perfect book for the beginner. Under Erika Knight’s
guidance even those who have never picked up a crochet hook before
will soon be making gorgeous projects and all the while learning new
techniques and adding to their skills. Each of the 20 projects in the
book will teach you a new stitch, technique or trick, and will build
on and consolidate crochet techniques already learnt in the preceding
projects, until you have mastered a wide repertoire of skills and
completed an enviable collection of gorgeous crocheted items.
With
Erika’s stunning designs, crochet is no longer the kitsch retro
craft that saw the endless crocheted bikinis and shawls of the
seventies. Crochet Workshop showcases the incredible variety of
finishes that different crochet techniques can produce. Erika begins
with simple scarves and hats that are chic accessories as well as
being the perfect items to practice basic stitches. She then takes
you through the dense textures of double and treble crochet – which
make excellent bags, purses and even a laptop case – and then moves
on to the more intricate, delicate lace stitches – perfect for
heirloom shawls and antique-style cushions. Freeform or random
crochet takes the craft to a more demanding level and projects like
the edge-to-edge cardigan will provide a new challenge for all
creative crocheters.
With
exquisite photography by Yuki Sugiura that perfectly shows each of
the beautiful designs, and supported with clear charts and artworks,
Erika Knight has created the ultimate book for new enthusiasts of
this remarkable craft.
