What's New
Following up on the best-selling Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs, Edie's newest book, Connect the Shapes Crochet Motifs gives crocheters what they've been looking for: fool-proof ways to join individual motifs.
This colorful guide to creative joining techniques shows how easy it is to combine multiples of a motif to form a whole new pattern. Learn join-as-you-go (JAYGo) methods that avoid seams and explore ways to create "planned freeform". The book includes more than 100 motif designs plus patterns to put your knowledge of crocheted connections to use. All instructions are given in both text and chart form.
