100 Essential Crochet Motifs

Cassie Ward is a crochet designer with a uniquely modern style. She lives in a sleepy village in the heart of Cambridgeshire in the UK and is the mother to identical twin boys. Cassie is a frequent contributor to the UK crochet magazines and has her own crochet design website www.themissingyarn.co.uk . Cassie is a left-handed crocheter and loves nothing more than watching a good box set with her crochet in hand. Her love of festivals and desire to be different is what inspires many of her crochet designs.

Crocheters of all abilities will find tons of inspiration in Cassie Ward’s extensive directory of 100 colourful motifs. Each one is represented with a photograph, chart and written instructions, including any useful tips for making and using the motif. The shapes you can make include squares, hexagons, triangles, octagons and pentagons and the designs range in difficulty from basic to advanced. The book also includes a guide to essential crochet techniques to help you get started, and if you’re looking to expand or simply refresh your skills, these small motifs are perfect for trying out different stitches and techniques. Once finished, the motifs could be incorporated into larger patterns to give them a personal touch, or you could join them together to make blankets, scarves or cushion covers. With so many motifs to choose from, the possibilities are endless!
