Summary of Single Crochet For Beginners

Single Crochet for Beginners focuses on techniques, rather than stitches. The projects are teaching tools, as well as useful, warming accessories and gifts. Cindy Crandall-Frazier offers excellent advice on hooks and yarn, and color and fiber, as well as simple, classic projects that make this a lifelong resource.

Readers will start by learning to apply the basics to their projects and move to more complex work. They will learn how to make a slip knot, a chain, single crochet stitch, slip stitch, join new yarn, hook in the front or back of the loop, increase and decrease, crochet stripes in the round and shape projects, with the new techniques added as they need to be incorporated into a project, with each project increasing in difficulty. Extra attention is paid to working both back and forth in the round and in continuous rounds to make tubes, as well as one way to work flat rounds--all of which are especially useful for beginners who are potential designers.

This book is an excellent tool to teach yourself how to crochet, or for experienced crocheters to teach children to crochet, with projects like tassels, pompoms and yarn dolls to get kids started working with yarn. The 26 projects offer crocheters a variety of applications for their new skills, from square mats to mittens and hats.
