Single crochet looks like the simplest stitch in the book, until you see how many versions of it there are. This workbook gives you a full sample library built around that one stitch. You learn to tell each variation apart, and then to turn those variations into patterns of your own.
The book starts by walking you through the many kinds of single crochet, including the waistcoat stitch (knit-look single crochet), back loop single crochet and post stitches. It shows how simply changing the way you work the stitch creates texture and pattern. Part 1 covers the methods and variations. Part 2 explores the different shapes and forms you can build with single crochet. Part 3 is a collection of stitch ideas, techniques chosen because they carry over easily into real projects. You can use it as a reference swatch book you keep coming back to, with a large number of single crochet samples throughout.
The book doesn't stop at swatches. It also includes many finished pieces made with single crochet, so you can picture how a stitch becomes an actual project. Part 4 gives the how-to-make instructions for those pieces, and a crochet symbol chart is included at the back.
At 128 pages, this 2023 title suits anyone who wants to get far more out of a basic stitch. Published by Nihonbungeisha.
