The Cool Girl's Guide to Crochet includes everything the reader needs to know to make exciting accessories and garments to a beautiful finish. There is step-by-step photography, invaluable information and practical advice on what equipment needed, where to buy it and how to use it. Instructions on simple crochet stitches are clear and easy to follow and will turn the reader from a beginner to an expert. Using yarns with strong, fashionable colours, 20 patterns are featured - including a wrap-around cardigan; a funky flowered beaded belt, a daisy-square cashmere scarf with mini pom-poms and pretty ribbon slippers. And there's the pets - there is a fun tasselled blanket for pampered pooches. Even the hot-water bottle has been brought up-to-date using superchunky thick yarns for a quick and easy project.
