Tapestry crochet is a variation on traditional crochet that allows
for color changes mid–row and results in a look that is akin to
loom weaving. This concealed ring–bound book focuses on tapestry
crochet but also offers several other types of projects, including
granny squares and three–dimensional flowers. The look of tapestry
crochet is very distinctive and is rarely represented in craft
books published in the U.S. The instructional portion of this book
outlines the eight types of stitches needed to complete the
projects as well as tips for changing colors, finishing, turning
chain, and reading charts and a section informing lefthanded
crafters how they can adapt the patterns to fit their needs. Most
of the tapestry crochet patterns are for bags and accessories, and
the more traditional crochet patterns are focused on granny squares
and decorative items such as flowers and chains. An additional tips
section at the end of the book offers help related to technical
aspects, including weaving in ends, counting stitches, stringing
beads, selecting yarn and other material, and more. --Anne
Heidemann, Booklist
