This book is filled with fresh stitch ideas and ways to work them, adapt them, and combine them to create something truly your own. You can use these stitches for all kinds of projects, from blankets to garments.

Inside, you’ll find five chapters, each exploring a different theme:

• small stitches and gentle textures
• new ways to play with double crochet
• a fresh look at working into the back loop
• an innovative technique for textured crochet
• and, of course, my signature crochet cables.

Each chapter ends with a shawl design that brings the stitches together in a practical yet gentle way. All five shawls are different: they use different constructions, shapes, and directions of work. That’s also a little hint: take inspiration from one construction, mix in stitches from another chapter, add your own twist, and make something new!
