    About this ebook

    Quick and easy doesn't mean boring, as this vibrant crochet guide attests. Twenty-four simple patterns, each of which can be finished in 24 hours or less, include garments, bags, and home accessories. They're easy to pick up whenever you have a few moments to spare — but they're hard to put down! You'll be amazed at what you can create in such a short time.
    Patterns include stylish hats, scarves, sweaters, and purses as well as afghans, doilies, and baby clothes. Full-color photos illustrate the easy-to-follow instructions, and a helpful "Refresher Course" offers diagrams of stitches and describes gauge. From a cute little sweater to a trendy scarf and a little black bag for a night on the town, these 24 patterns offer a terrific variety of projects that make great gifts and treasured keepsakes.

    Introduction

    Crocheting is easy, fast, and fun!

    Just think what you can make in only 24 hours or less of crocheting—a cute little sweater top, a trendy scarf, a hat, a must-have purse—and every one of the projects in this great book.

    Crocheting is easy to take up and to put down; it will go with you quite happily to a doctor’s appointment, a boring meeting, a child’s soccer game. Our patterns are easy, so they don’t require your full concentration.

    As a crocheter, you will be amazed at how quickly you can create fabulous projects that will have your friends and family begging for their own, just like yours.

    Just in case you can’t remember how to crochet, or if you are confused about what those abbreviations and symbols mean, spend a little time with our Refresher Course starting on page 116. Then you’ll be ready to go.

    To speed you along, we tell you how much time will be required to finish a project. Don’t be dismayed, however, if it takes you longer. It’s not a race, and crocheting is time well spent. Whether you crochet for just one hour a day, or for hours at a time, 24 of those precious hours will reward you with a wide variety of creations you’ll love.
