Crochet is hot news on the catwalk, with Prada, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli all including crocht items in their recent collections. It's easy, amazingly versatile and quick - but there are not many exciting crochet patterns out there for the young and fashionable woman to follow.
This book provides the answer to their problem. As well as covering all the basic techniques with clear, step-by-step instructions, it includes 30 specially-designed projects for stylish items of clothing and accessories. Try the stylish poncho, or the Russian hat - or add crochet flowers or trimmings to customize existing knitted garments and create an unique new look. There are also patterns for scarves and tops and an unusual range of crochet jewellery. All the patterns are relatively easy for the beginner and use a wide range of the interesting new yarns that are currently available.
