Under Erika Knight’s guidance, even those who have never picked up a crochet hook before will soon be making gorgeous projects while learning new techniques and adding to their skills. Each of the 20 projects in this book teaches a new stitch, technique, or trick and builds on and consolidates crochet techniques, until you have mastered a wide repertoire of skills and completed a collection of gorgeous crocheted items. Taller de ganchillo showcases the incredible variety of finishes that different crochet techniques can produce, beginning with simple scarves and hats—both chic accessories and perfect items to practice basic stitches. Dense textures of double and treble crochet and intricate and delicate lace stitches are also included. Freeform crochet takes the craft to a more demanding level. Projects such as the edge-to-edge cardigan provide a new challenge for all creative crocheters. With exquisite photography that perfectly displays each of the beautiful designs, and with clear charts and artwork, Erika Knight has created the ultimate book for new enthusiasts of this remarkable craft.
