This book is a must-have for every crocheter, featuring a wide collection of crocheted embellishments to enhance both crochet and knit projects.
Disclosure: I recently received a copy of this eBook from Leisure Arts. All opinions in this review are my own.
Complete Guide to Crochet Embellishments by Jean Leinhauser
There are patterns included for colorful borders, decorative bands, realistic flowers like roses and daisies, tassels, beads, various fringes, cords, braids, ruffles, and more.
With clear instructions and detailed, close-up photos of each design, Jean Leinhauser’s book will make a great addition to your crochet library.
Here are some of the crochet embellishments I created from the copy of the book I was given.
Ruffled Blossom (page 11)
Fancy Flora (page 13)
Royal Rose Embellishment (page 18)
Cone Flower Embellishment (page 19)
Pansy Flower Embellishment (page 26)
The 96-page eBook has written instructions for crocheting flowers, leaves, motifs & shapes, borders, bands (with a decorative edge on the top and bottom), braids and cords, tassels, bead and button covers, curlicues and fringes.
I am always looking for new ways to embellish my projects – and learning new techniques to be able to design my own. The more you crochet, the more you learn. I found this eBook extremely helpful and I am happy to have it – both to make quick embellishments to ‘pretty’ up my hats and because it taught me what loops to work in to create pretty flowers of my own.
“Pretty Up” My Hats:
The written instructions are clear and easy to follow and the eBook is filled with colour photographs.
There is a something for everyone in this book – a great ‘go to’ resource to have in your collection!
