Crochet is cool again. Traditional crafts such as knitting and crochet are enjoying renewed interest, and spearheading this revival is Erika Knight. Essential Crochet brings this craft right up to date whilst retaining its characteristics qualities. Divided into five chapters – Basic, Timeless, Contemporary, Heirloom and Vintage – the thirty projects embrace both new and traditional designs. They range from a basic patchwork throw made from individual motifs to a crisp white filet crochet cushion with effortless appeal and a contemporary table mat made from pearlised wire. An introductory section leads the beginner through the basics of how to crochet, or provides a welcome refresher for those enticed back to this craft.
