Ever since we introduced the best-selling Knitting in Fall 2004, people have been after us to create a crochet book. For good reason. In the craft world, knitting and crochet go hand in hand. Crochet requires just one hook versus knitting's two needles, and some say crochet is a little easier to learn and yields quicker results but, fundamentally, both are classic activities experiencing unprecedented popularity. And now, at last, both are Klutz books. Just like Knitting, Crochet features super-clear directions by how-to guru Anne Akers Johnson. Every step in every project is explained in plain language and illustrated in great detail. All the instructions have been rigorously tested by certified crochet know-nothings. Crochet comes with everything you need to get started, including two kinds of yarn and crochet hooks in two sizes. Projects include a chic scarf, super cute purse, stylish hat and more. All the projects are teen-approved and way cooler than Grandma's tea cozy.
