The Happy Hooker

The same hip sensibility that made BUST magazine co-founder Debbie Stoller's two knitting books (STITCH 'N BITCH and STITCH 'N BITCH NATION) such a success infuses this introduction to crochet. In her usual breezy, friendly style, Stoller gives the reader a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of crocheting, using text, illustrations, and full-color photos to demonstrate the basic stitches and techniques. Then, she includes 40 funky patterns from various designers, providing everything the newbie crocheter needs to know to create lacy sweaters, adorable baby hats, sexy belts, fun scarves, flirty purses, and fuzzy slippers.
