Author, Claudine Powley aka iron_lamb, is a talented crochet designer and her favourite crochet stitch is the granny stitch because of its flexibility. Claudine will share her secrets for getting the most from this humble crochet stitch which is normally just associated with making granny squares, and show you how to make a collection of sweaters, tops, wraps and accessories to revitalise your wardrobe.
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.

There’s a good chance you’ve picked this book because you’ve fallen in love with granny stitch and want to see what else you can do with it. Granny stitch is a fun and versatile stitch pattern that can be used in a variety of ways. It is usually one of the first stitches people learn because it’s quick, easy and produces a lovely vintage look. However, it can be made to look modern if you take a fresh approach to the colours and patterns used.
Granny stitch is worked using groups of three treble crochet stitches all worked into the same space. It can be worked in lots of different shapes, but in this book we will be working it in straight rows, or in joined rows called rounds. Granny stitch is worked into the spaces between groups, rather than into the stitches, which makes it quick to crochet, and produces a slightly thicker fabric than regular stitches, which is why we’ll only be using double knitting (DK) or 4 ply (fingering) weight yarn for these projects.
