Modern Granny Stitch Crochet: Make clothes and accessories using the granny stitch

Get your granny on with this collection of twelve different crochet wearables—one for each month of the year—all made using the humble granny square stitch. Author Claudine Powley—aka iron_lamb—is a talented crochet designer whose favourite crochet stitch is the granny stitch because of its flexibility. Claudine shares her secrets for getting the most from this humble stitch and shows you how to make a collection of sweaters, tops, wraps and accessories to revitalise your wardrobe. There are lighter knits for summer days and heavier knits for the cooler months, all made using the granny stitch in a variety of innovative ways, including stripes, chevrons, colour block patterns, Aztec-inspired stitch patterns and even a fair isle style yoke. The patterns in this collection are suitable for intermediate crocheters even if you haven't made a garment before. All of the clothing patterns are graded to be as size inclusive as possible, and there is a selection of accessories offering a choice of quicker, easier makes. There are step-by-step instructions and photographs for all the techniques including how to increase and decrease using the granny stitch, so even if you've never crocheted a garment before you can get started. Choose your favourite patterns and have fun selecting your favourite colourways. Claudine suggests her own colour selections, but there is always room to experiment and make the designs your own.
