Product Description
Product Description
The origin of this beautiful stitch seems to be a mystery. The original designers are believed to be a mother and daughter from Bavaria. Although they never wrote out a pattern, many have attempted to preserve its beauty by writing instructions without any knowledge of its history. This perfect 2 round stitch allows any color combination to work together in harmony because of its unique textured color overlap. Jenny King felt it was time to share the technique with the rest of the world and has written clear detailed step-by-step instructions - transforming the original square into rectangles, triangle and circles, along with 8 wonderful designs.

A very beginner would find this book daunting but for some one with more experience it is a welcome change. Just remember that as with most U.S. publications in this field the crochet terms are slightly different to U.K. Projects vary from a quick -to -make scarf using this technique to a blanket. Photos for the unusual stitches are clear & the rest of the instructions are in the traditional written format. It would have been nice to have U.K. yarn alternatives listed but this so rarely happens that after some thought this can be solved. A worthwhile use of my Amazon gift vouchers & I would have bought this anyhow.

I found the book most useful after thinking about buying it for a long time I decided to take the plunge as it is so very different and I can use the patterns with my home-spun wool.
The patterns are clear and well explained and there are plenty of pictures to help along the way. It is a very informative book,. I would recommend this book to someone who has some crochet experience, not for the complete beginner.

I loved learning how to do Bavarian crochet and I made my yorkies little coats and an afghan throw for myself. I found it amazingly easy to do and enjoyed using lots of colours. I really wished there were more patterns in the book other than just flat items, as once I had mastered the stitch I wanted something a little more challenging like hats ot jackets etc. But all in all a great book.

This looked a great book but I found it hard to follow as all the instructions are in US speak. It would have helped to know this before purchasing.
