This book is divided into four main sections: Flowers, Trims, Fabrics and Motifs. Each section has its own colour palette to inspire you.

Flowers - There is a great range of crochet patterns in this section, from the natural to the more flamboyant. Add these to garments and interior items, or use them to make jewellery.

Trims - Use the edgings and borders in the Trims section to add an individual touch to your next crocheted or knitted garment or a crocheted trim to ready-made clothing.

Fabrics - Included in the Fabrics section are texture, lace and colour crochet patterns; make them into panels to add to ready-made items or make a patchwork throw of your favourites.

Motifs - There are three shapes of crochet Motifs: squares, circles and hexagons; traditional alongside new. Ideas for joining motifs to make different items are given later in this section.

Over 200 all-new crochet patterns for flowers, fabrics, trims and motifs, along with crochet project ideas and a comprehensive guide to crochet stitches and techniques make this the one-stop shop for all creative crocheters. Every stitch is shown as a clear swatch to show the effect and texture, and the crochet pattern is given both as written instruction and as an easy-to-follow crochet chart. This title conveniently groups crochet motifs, stitches and edgings to allow for easy browsing and location of favourites. It teaches crafters how to make the best of the textural, 3D nature of crochet - perfect when fabrics and knitting just don't cut it.
