Mollie Makes

Crochet is big fashion news and is becoming more and more popular among young crafters. This adorable new book from the team behind *Mollie Makes* is aimed at complete beginners, but it's also perfect for those who have completed their first projects and are looking to move on.

A selection of more than 20 contemporary projects from an international range of crochet experts offers a variety of projects. Some are quick and easy, others are more time and labor-intensive, but well worth the effort. A section at the back of the book clearly explains the basics of crochet with step-by-step illustrations.

The book includes ideas for using crocheted pieces around the home-as accessories themselves, as trim embellishments on existing items, and more. Projects include blankets and afghans; cushions; kitchen items such as placemats, crochet-trimmed napkins, potholders, and coasters; and toys and gifts.
