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 pillows to blankets and a tablecloth. 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 traveling 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.
