NOTE: The yarns used in this book

are Japanese brands with limited

availability outside of Japan. The yarn

chart on shows thicknesses,

put up and hook recommendations to

aid you in substituting your favorite yarns.

I think crochet is a truly unique craft, because you can use one single yarn to create an infinite
number of interesting shapes and patterns.

I have been working in the hand knitting and crochet industry for 25 years. In that time, Ive
worked to innovate and use different crocheted and knitted fabrics outside of the usual box hand
crafters have created in. Ive put together 156 new stitch patterns in one book to stimulate creativity
and help crocheters find new avenues for integrating crochet into their daily life.

Until now, a book like this has never been written. Weve continued our journey outside of the
box and created vests, bags, shawls, and other accessories to be crocheted with an adventurous
and experimental spirit.

This book has something for everyone from the pro to the beginner. Beginners can use this book
to understand a variety of new techniques and methods, but more experienced crocheters
can read this book, put aside the rules and learn to truly play with yarn, and be more creative and
imaginative in your work.

All of the symbols used in the chart are as shown in the Stitch

Dictionary on and explained in the Crochet Basics section

starting on . When fabric is worked flat, odd numbered

rows are crocheted right to left, and even numbered rows are

worked left to right (rows are numbered in the chart). In rows 1-6

of the motif, back post single crochet stitches will be worked from

the back side on right side rows and from the front side on wrong

side rows.

From the cast on chain until the first arrow is one full pattern

repeat. The 1 indicates the first row of the pattern repeat. Those

5 rows are to be repeated. The images show crocheted fabric that

has more repeats than what is shown in the diagram.

For each crochet stitch pattern, the specific yarn and hook size

used are noted. Please refer to this in order to achieve correct

gauge. The chart on is a visual guide to yarn textures and

thicknesses, should you need or wish to substitute a different yarn.

On each page, the pattern for each project is reduced to stitch

repeats for proper calculations.

Depending on the stitch pattern, the edge of your work will

have a different shape. Please keep that in mind and use it to your

advantage when you build your work.

Please use these stitch patterns freely to play in the world of

crochet. Be experimental and childlike in your discovery of which

patterns are good for different projects. There are no rules, so lets

discover together! If you feel lost in your play, just come back to

this book for advice and guidance.

All garments.

NOTE: The patterns and projects in this book were conceived
and executed using metric measurements. All inch measurements
are approximate. We encourage you to use the metric measurements
if possible, as this may yield more precise results.
