Books for Crochet and Knitting

Crochet and knitting books sit together here: Mosaic Crochet for the mosaic technique, Romantic Crochet and Crochet Garments for clothing and accessories, Flower Knitting for knitted flowers, DMC Eco Vita pattern books with 6–8 project collections in recycled yarn and the Diana Baby & Children's Knitting Magazine with sized baby patterns. Amigurumi and macramé books are in Amigurumi and Macramé Books.

Crochet or Knitting?

Crochet books offer fast one-tool projects: bags, blankets, garments and mosaic patterns; knitting books are chosen for sweaters, cardigans and baby sets with stretchy, even fabric. For baby and children's knits, Diana's sized, charted patterns are the most practical source; English books give charts in international symbols.

Yarn and tools for the patterns

Gazzal, YarnArt and DMC Eco Vita yarns in the recommended weights are in Hand Knitting Yarn, hooks and needles in Knitting Needles & Crochet Hooks, stitch markers, yarn needles and buttons in Knitting Tools.
