This On-the-Go guide from Vogue's popular series will grab crocheters--hooks, yarn, and stitches. It's a thorough guide to almost every basic technique, plus 11 fabulous and fun projects to practice them on, from cute booties to a pretty "Pop Princess" dress with an eyelet bodice. The course methodically proceeds one skill at a time, from making a foundation chain to weaving in ends, from working in a spiral to joining yarn, so newcomers can confidently master the craft. A striped Kureyon Scarf is simply colorful, and perfect for practicing making even stitches. The sweet pastel baby blanket features nice big granny squares and dainty picot edging. Other attractive items include a cozy cap and poncho. Crochet fans will take this book everywhere.
