Box Set: The Complete Guide on Learning How to Crochet from Beginner to Expert
Dorothy Wilks - 2015
Together we will learn the basic stitches and techniques used in the art of crochet. We’ll also learn about the hooks and equipment you need to start out and all about yarn and its various uses. Next we’ll pick up hook and yarn and get started on some basic projects. My goal for this book is to spark a love of crochet in you and help you get started on this popular and timeless fiber art.
We will also explore how to read charts and graphs, different types of colorworks, and I will share tips on designing your own patterns. These are important skills for an expert crocheter because if you know how to read and work charts and graphs you open up an entire new world of patterns for you to explore. We will also learn some exciting expert techniques such as Filet. I hope this volume, Expert Crochet, will encourage you and sparks your creativity to reach an even higher level of crochet skills.
