A beginner's guide to Tunisian crochet, with 30 gorgeous patterns for clothes, cushions, accessories and more. Discover the craft of Tunisian crochet and make stunning textured projects with this contemporary collection of patterns. Tunisian crochet uses many of the same basic techniques as traditional crochet, but involves holding multiple loops on the hook in a similar way to knitting. All you'll need is a hook and some yarn to get started, and the result is a beautifully textured fabric. With this beginner's guide, you'll learn how to crochet eye-catching projects for the home such as spiral coasters and a plant pot holder, as well as cosy and colourful blankets and cushions. There are also patterns for unique clothes and accessories, from a simple ear warmer and a triangle shawl to a zipped pouch and a shoulder bag. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to take your craft to the next level, you'll find plenty of beautiful designs to make, from quick and simple projects that require just the basic skills to more adventurous pieces that use a range of different Tunisian crochet techniques such as colourwork, texture stitches, and mitred and entrelac squares. All of the stitches are explained in the easy-to-follow illustrated techniques section, and there is also a guide to the basic tools and materials you will need.
