With nine projects designed specifically for young crocheters, this introduction to the craft provides everything a beginner needs to know to get started. The book explains what materials and tools are required and leads burgeoning crocheters step by step with color photographs to learn various basic stitches, including slip stitch, chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, triple crochet, and treble stitch. The featured projects--a hat, a blanket, yarn jewelry, accessories, and more--use medium worsted-weight yarn and incorporate techniques such as making granny squares, joining crochet pieces, and working in continuous rounds.
