Publisher's Synopsis
Is Crochet an Affordable Hobby? The short answer: yes. At least, it's as affordable as you want it to be. ... High-end yarns can get pricey, but you don't necessarily need them; you can crochet with free materials such as cut-up plastic bags, or recycled materials such as fabric strips cut from old clothes or linens.
In this book, you will discover:
- History of Crochet. Here you will discover where the fascinating art of crochet was born, from those who used it hundreds of years ago, the principal materials and decorations.
- The Basics. Once you have learned the basic techniques, consisting of short and smooth passages, you need a combination of a few stitches to create everything you want.
- Tips for beginners. You will find lots of information on the best crochet hooks, on how to give life to a disused sweater, the tension used on crochet during work, and much more.
- Tools and materials. As you're a beginner, you'll probably wonder which fabric is the best, the easiest to work with, or the most suitable crochet for you.
- So many different projects. At the end of the book, you can indulge yourself with the tasks you prefer: puppets, scarves, placemats made with a few stitches; you won't be asked for professional skills.
- ... & Much More!
