"Restyled, and with fresh new photography -- the ideal novice's guide, containing crochet expert Pauline Turner's clear, step-by-step guidance, inspiring projects and helpful hints and tips. The close-up photography and no-nonsense advice leads beginners through the basic stitches and techniques, showing them exactly what they should be doing, while the exciting projects -- from scarves and bags to lacework -- gradually increase in difficulty to challenge and inspire the reader as they progress through the book. The smaller, wire-bound format is ideal for crafters, as it will fit comfortably into a bag and will sit open while in use for easy reference. Pauline Turner is the author of 'How to crochet : the definitive crochet course complete with step-by-step techniques, stitch libraries and projects for your home and family'. She is a founder member of the Knitting and Crochet Guild of Great Britain."--Provided by publisher.
