Quick & Easy Crochet: Fast and Stylish Patterns for Scarves, Tops, Blankets, Bags and More (35 Simple Projects to Make)

Discover 35 patterns for gorgeous clothes and accessories to make with just yarn and a crochet hook in no time at all.

The 35 designs in this book offer a range of contemporary garments and accessories to make on the move – from hats and gloves to children’s clothes, and from bags and cushions to wraps and throws. The crochet techniques are simple to master and impressive pieces can be achieved without expertise. With just one stitch motion to learn, the rows grow fast, while making a crochet motif, such as a decorated square, is a satisfying quick fix. The rows can grow in a linear way, which is ideal for beginners, or you can work freehand to create your own effects.

Many of the projects can be made in a weekend, and the portability of crochet means it is the ideal pastime to enjoy while travelling on the train, waiting for the bus or taking a work break. These stunning projects, all designed with speed in mind, come complete with a step-by-step techniques section so you can get started right away.
