Whether you're a designer seeking new ideas or simply a crochet enthusiast, Harmony Guide: Basic Crochet Stitches is an essential reference guide and source for creativity. If you're looking for stitch inspiration, this Harmony Guide brims with new and old stitches to delight crocheters of all skill levels. Use the single cluster crochet stitch as a great foundation pattern for a textured scarf or a trinity stitch to add warmth to an afghan design. Why not glam up a shawl with a striking hexagon stitch or a wavy shell stitch? With 250 stitch options, the possibilities are practically endless! All swatches are worked in contemporary yarns, beautifully photographed, and accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions. Basic crochet techniques are reviewed, plus tips and tricks are featured throughout.
The Harmony Guides have been longstanding references and sources of inspiration for handcrafters for more than thirty years, offering clear, concise instructions and photographs for stitches. British designer Erika Knight, author of the Simple Knits series, lends her expertise in the series redesign, updating the Harmony Guides with new stitches and know-how.
