Baby Blueprint Crochet: Irresistible Projects for Little Ones
Robyn Chachula’s first book, Blueprint Crochet, introduced American readers to crochet stitch diagrams used by crocheters throughout the world, demonstrated on contemporary designs for women. Although written-out directions are more common to American readers, diagrams are the standard in international crochet patterns. Once crocheters understand the symbols, the diagrams are often easier to follow than written directions. Now with Baby Blueprint Crochet, Robyn offers the opportunity to practice these new skills and techniques on smaller, less daunting projects.

The designs are of late 1960's vintage.
It’s amazing that objects so beautiful can come from such simple techniques! These French beaded flowers sparkle, shine, and surprise, and yet they’re made just by stringing beads on wire and wrapping them around to form stems and petals. Some of these flowers serve as eye-catching ornaments; others are sublimely practical, such as napkin rings and tiebacks. Follow the well-illustrated instructions to craft wildflowers, roses, daisies, tulips, anemones, and hydrangeas. For each one, there’s a “What You Need to Know” and “What You Will Learn” box as guidance.
