Around the Corner - Crochet Borders

by Edie Eckman

Storey Publishing has THE BEST books! Here is another one is for all you crochet lovers. BRAND NEW, this gem is 315 pages of crochet borders and stitches. AMAZING. Check these out:

When it comes time to put the finishing touches on the edges of a fiber project, a crochet border is the perfect solution. A unique trim transforms all of the most popular knit and crochet pieces, like blankets, scarves, and afghans, into stunning works of art. Edging along all four sides can be a challenge, however, because it requires turning a 90-degree corner with the border without breaking the pattern. Adding too few stitches results in puckering, rounded corners, while adding too many causes the piece to ruffle awkwardly. Unfortunately, most published edging patterns fail to include specific instructions for turning the corner, leaving crafters to fend for themselves.

Edie Eckman comes to the rescue in Around the Corner Crochet Borders, a collection of 150 colorful crochet frames, each with all the direction you need for working around a corner. Instructions are offered as both text and charts for working in-the-round; alternate charts are included for when working back-and-forth is more appropriate. Beautiful color photographs of finished borders, each making a 90-degree turn at the top of each page, allow readers to easily flip through the whole book to select their designs and see the details up close.
