Knit 1, Purl 2 in Crochet

Description

By Bendy Carter. In this new release, the designer has figured out how to truly translate knitting into crochet. By using a unique stitching method, with a regular crochet hook, she teaches how to crochet many, many knitted looks. By combining knit and purl stitches — in crochet — you can create wonderful knit-like fabrics with bobbles, textural patterns, ribbing and cables. You are guided through the basic method and stitches and then shown combinations in stitch patterns that you can use to emulate knitwear. 40 stitches in all. There are twelve fabulous patterns using some of these combinations, including a handbag, a cabled sweater and afghan, a lace and two-tone scarf, and a simple hot pad, a hat, pillows to name a few. Crochet has never looked so knitted! This method and these stitches will greatly expand anyone’s crochet repertoire. 78 pages.
