This article completes the overview of the book I have been telling you about – “The Official Guide To Crochet” but has some very important information in it regarding patterns for your crochet, and even how to go about crocheting without a pattern!

• As with any project, you must have a pattern to crochet.  This book will tell you all you need to know about patterns, including –
• Where to find patterns and how to read them
• Converting patterns between the US, UK and Australia
• How to adjust the size of a pattern and adapt it for different hook and thread sizes.
• If following a pattern isn’t your cup of tea, then free form crochet is for you.  You’ll learn all about creating your own unique, one-of-a-kind pieces by using free form crochet. You will be able to truly express yourself with this type of crochet
• Once you’ve created your piece you need to know how to care for it.  You will have all the info you’ll need on caring for your work. You’ll learn all about –
• stiffening and blocking
• how to treat filet crochet
• what to do with white crochet pieces which have yellowed with age
• Storage and cleaning of your lovely pieces is also covered in this very comprehensive guide.
