Hooked Throws: 20 Easy Crochet Projects [Spiral-bound]

Margaret Hubert (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2006

Contemporary crochet projects for fun, fast, fashionable afghans, shoulder wraps, and baby blankets.

Throws and baby blankets are the most popular crochet projects, according to the Yarn Council of America. Beginners love them because no fitting or seaming is required, and everyone loves the look and coziness of a crocheted throw. Hooked Throws presents colorful, contemporary crochet projects for textured Afghans, lacey shoulder wraps, and cute baby blankets. The original patterns use widely available yarns including popular novelty yarns. Color photographs show the finished projects, the stitches close up, the yarn used, and how to make the crochet stitches step by step. Other features include a handy ruler inside the cover and a covered spiral binding. Hooked Throws joins an exciting new series of crochet project books.

This book is full of beautifully photographed and well-written patterns for a variety of projects; I began two of them immediately. There is an excellent "how to" section at the back with super close-up photos and clear explanations of how to make each type of stitch, including the Tunisian stitch.

So easy! This really got me a head start on all my crocheting friends. I had 2 throws done in a couple weeks after first picking up this fabulous hobby, and both throws were from this book. Great!

I am a self-taught beginner crochet. I wanted to learn some new patterns so I can create more than just scarves. I have collected a library of books already but this one was what I was looking for - the directions are clear and accurate, the photos of the stitches helpful and the patterns are not too difficult to learn, Now I can create more than scarves!
