Title: Cute & Easy Crochet with Flowers

The theme
is floral; the projects, cute. Trench has written a book with 35 flowery
projects, many home décor, along with some baby projects and fashion
accessories.
The book is conveniently divided into three sections based on the
level of challenge. The introduction gives a nice overview of crochet technique
and includes line drawings to reinforce the textual instruction.
The “Starting Out” section in Chapter One
includes 13 projects suitable for beginners. My personal favorite is the
crocheted Bunting, because, well, who doesn't need a crocheted flower bunting?
Chapter two, “Practice Makes Perfect”, has 14 projects, my favorite being the
delicate Blossom Necklace.
In Chapter three, we move on to “Confident
Crocheting”, where we find the remaining 8 patterns, including the ethereal
Floral Lace Scarf, worked in fine mohair and edged with colorful blossoms.
All
instructions are written only; no charts are included. If you love flowers and
would like to include them in your craft, Cute & Easy
Crochet with Flowers is for you.
