Create beautifully embellished crocheted items for you and your home, using just one crochet stitch and 11 basic embroidery stitches. Double crochet (US single crochet) stitch forms a firm, grid-like base that's ideal for embroidery work, using either crochet or tapestry yarn. The effect is a beautiful, raised design that combines the delicacy and charm of embroidery with the soft, tactile feel of crochet. The book begins with clear guidance on all the materials, tools and techniques you'll need, including stitch instructions for both crochet and embroidery, as well as how to use the motif transfers. Then, delve into a collection of 10 pretty projects: discover a verdant meadow-themed tapestry, a basket set emblazoned with roses, marvellous mushroom bunting, a granny-square blanket adorned with woodland birds, and much more. Each project begins with a crochet pattern, followed by detailed instructions on how to embroider your items. All the projects have a corresponding transfer or chart, meaning you can start embroidering straight away. To transfer, simply cut out the transfer motif and iron it onto your crochet - just as you would transfer onto regular fabric.
