Welcome to Crochet Unravelled!

This book has been written for complete beginners of all ages. I hope it will also be useful to those of you who can already crochet a little, but whose knowledge of stitch names and pattern reading is a little sketchy!

I know how many people love to give home-made gifts, so the 11 projects have been designed with this in mind. Most are very quick to make and some can be completed by the youngest of crocheters.

Have fun with your crochet, and as your confidence grows why not try designing your own projects? I'd love to see what you can make.
