The crochet diva divulges two hundred of her favorite crochet stitch patterns—including many original designs—to keep you busy stitching for years!
With many original designs and others garnered from Melissa Leapman's years of experience in the industry, this book is geared toward crocheters of all levels and formatted in a way that encourages learning and skill-building.
The beginning features a pattern library with a full explanation of stitch multiples and how they work. Suggestions are offered about how to design basic projects, including afghans, pillows, hats, and more. The book's second section offers stitch patterns arranged by type—from lace to cables to colorwork and beyond. Each stitch pattern is accompanied by easy-to-read instructions, stitch diagrams using international symbols, and a clear photo. If the reverse side of the fabric is interesting for a given pattern, both sides will be presented. A unique icon is used to mark these special patterns, making them easy to seek out for versatile scarves and blankets, which must look attractive on both sides. With these patterns that just beg to be stitched, you'll be making hats, scarves, shawls and more for yourself, family, and friends.
"Leapman's experience paired with the readability of this book makes it a great addition to any crochet library." —Jessica Carpender, editor, FaveCrafts.com

      Prolific crochet designer and instructor Leapman brings years of knowledge to the world of stitch guides. Among the 200 stitches included in this book are basic crochet stitches, shell and fan patterns, openwork and lace, colorwork, and textured stitch patterns. Each stitch design contains written and charted instructions, as well as a full-color, close-up photograph of several pattern repeats, giving a clear idea of how the stitch looks. Reversible patterns are clearly indicated via the use of a symbol at the head of the pattern. The collection wraps up with a series of edge stitches and tutorials on crochet basics. VERDICT Leapman has significant name recognition in the field, and the presentation of each stitch is exceptionally accessible, making this a fine addition to crocheters' bookshelves.
