Projects include:

An elegant shawl or blanket festooned with flowers; a gorgeous scarf with a cascade of delicate, understated frills; a bag or pouch in a cheerful strawberry stitch; a brioche-stitched bowl that makes a wonderful home for your yarn; a star-stitched shoulder pouch or hat that is a charming ay to play with colours. 

Plus much more charming bags, scarves, hats, and handwear that help you try more fabulous stitches!

A section on stitch techniques walks you through the basic stitches, adding and decreasing, binding and finishing. The inspiring photos are all the invitation you need to grab your hook to get started.
