Bella Coco's Crochet Stitch Library

Starting with the key things you'll need to get crocheting, from advice on yarn and notions to essential techniques, Sarah-Jayne then takes you through a gorgeous collection of stitches – from simple repeat patterns to incredible textured designs. The stitches are divided into 4 sections – ‘basic stitches’, ‘simple stitch combinations’, ‘textured stitches’ and ‘squares and shapes’ – so you can easily search for a stitch that suits your desired finish.

Discover:

• A clear, overhead, close-up photograph of each of the 100 stitches worked up into a swatch, so you can examine the stitch repeats closely
• All stitches categorized by difficulty level, from easy to advanced, so you can choose a stitch that suits your skills
• Stitch multiples/repeats for every stitch pattern, so that you can calculate how to work the pattern into an upcoming project
• Written instructions (including both UK and US terms) on starting the stitch, how to work the repeat and how to finish off.

As a bonus, you’ll also find Sarah-Jayne’s 5 favorite border stitches – all photographed and clearly explained – for edge-finish inspiration, and three stunning projects that include a selection of stitches in the library: a basketweave tote bag; a gradient crochet wrap; and a colorful, multi-textured patchwork blanket.
