Description

This beautiful beginner’s guide is designed specifically for the way your hands naturally move, and includes a complete guide to crochet techniques, a wealth of stitches and patterns, plus 8 stunning projects!

It’s time to stop translating and start creating, with this comprehensive crochet book from left-handed crochet designer Anais Debulois.

If you’re left-handed, you know the struggle: trying to follow crochet diagrams in a mirror, or mentally flipping every instruction just to work a single stitch… Anais Debulois offers you an alternative to making-do with right-handed tutorials. Anais, who learned to crochet by sitting across from her mother, carefully mirroring her every move, understands the unique hurdles left-handed people face. In this book, she shares the treasure trove of knowledge she’s gathered, offering you the guide she wished she’d had as a child. Discover:

Advice on getting started: from choosing equipment and yarn to achieving the perfect left-handed hook grip.
A comprehensive stitch and technique manual: learn basic stitches and beautiful variations, and discover how to block, change colour, add buttonholes, correct errors and much more.
A way to decode patterns: get to grips with symbols, diagrams and abbreviations so you can pick up these – and any future projects – with confidence.
8 stunning projects: a chic headband, a stylish hat and a cute make-up bag; a beautiful raffia drawstring pouch; a loose-fitting top, a sleeveless tank, a miniskirt and even a full mini dress!

Whether you’re looking to craft your first bag or design your own wardrobe, this book will help your creativity run wild.
