Book Description

Whether you want to recreate an Irish lace in creamy neutrals or play with stitches that stand out for their unusual shape and dimension, this book has it all. Seven practice projects help you cut loose with some creative application, including: two elegant, lacy shawls, two fun flowery necklaces, a bohemian vest in neutral tones, a wildly-embellished rainbow scarf and the most one-of-a-kind bag you'll ever see. A technical section demonstrates the stitches step by step, so readers can become familiar with crocheting in the Japanese style. Amazing Japanese Crochet Stitches is a joy for the experienced crocheter, and a valuable reference for needlecraft enthusiasts everywhere!
