New from Claire Montgomerie, author of the sell-out sensations The Granny Square Card Deck and The Granny Square Flowers Card Deck.
The card deck is probably one of the best craft "things" I've ever seen and I can't crochet! What a brilliant idea - absolutely love it! - Mary Bird, Woman’s Weekly
The stylish box contains 50 colorful cards, each featuring a stunning stitch pattern. On the front of each 4 x 4in card is a color photograph of the finished swatch, while on the back you'll find a crochet chart that shows you exactly how to work the swatch, plus the necessary stitch multiples. Simply lay out the cards to easily mix, match and create your own design combinations.
Also within is a 32-page booklet, which contains a comprehensive step-by-step guide to reading and understanding crochet charts, with two written patterns for you to compare side by side. You'll also find methods for edging and joining your swatches, guidance on scaling up the stitch multiples to create new patterns, plus advice so that you can achieve color success every time.
The perfect tool to help you select stitches for any handmade project, select a few cards or slip the whole deck into your bag for on-the-go crochet. Each swatch square is made using the same hook and yarn weight and is the same finished size, so that the squares can be joined together in any combination with ease.
With 50 colorful designs to choose from and customise, this fun and versatile card deck is the ideal gift for any crocheter, and perfect for visual learners.
