From the front dust cover flap: "In How to Crochet, Pauline Turner provides a definitive guide to the subject, taking you step by step from the very basics of crochet through to creating beautiful projects. Divided into ten workshops, each lesson builds on the skills already learned to ensure steady, confident progress. Stitch libraries gradulaly expand your range of stitches, and each workshop finishes with stylish, contemporary projects designed to allow you to put your new skills into practice. The first workshop looks at tools, equipment and the most basic techniques and stitches you will need to start crocheting. The following workshops cover every aspect of the craft from colour, shaping and texture to different types of crochet, such as Tunisian, filet and broomstick. Illustrated with over 300 colour photographs, step-by-step artworks and stitch diagrams, this is a comprehensive and easy to follow crochet course."
