In a small, easy-to-tote format, Essential Crochet Starter Stitches is a concise stitch dictionary featuring 100 stitch patterns for solids, shells and fans, openwork and lace, and simple edgings.

This rich library of crochet stitch designs covers a wide range of patterns, from a thicket pattern to summertime shells to clover lace.
Each stitch pattern includes a photo of a finished swatch and both easy-to-read instructions and a stitch diagram using international symbols. Choose the format that makes you and your crochet hook happy.
Most of the patterns are original and are accessible to most skill levels. If you’ve mastered looping yarn over your hook to create a simple chain, you already possess all the skills you need to create an infinite number of stitch patterns.

With information on how to read the patterns, shaping pieces, and designing from scratch, the stunning stitch patterns in Essential Crochet Starter Stitches will serve as a launching pad for your own fun experimentation and for creating unique designs for gorgeous hats, scarves, gloves, sweaters, vests, and more!
