Double crochet (US single crochet) forms a dense, firm base that’s ideal for stitching on using either crochet yarn or stranded cotton. The effect is a beautiful, textured, raised design that combines the delicacy and charm of embroidery with the soft, tactile feel of crochet. This means you can transform crocheted items into stunning, intricate pieces.
Beginning with a basic introduction to the materials, tools and techniques, including stitch instructions for both crochet and embroidery, delve into a collection of 10 pretty projects. Discover an enchanting meadow-themed tapestry, a basket set emblazoned with roses, a granny-square blanket adorned with woodland birds, enchanting mushroom bunting and more.
Each project begins with a crochet pattern, followed by detailed instructions on how to embroider your items. All the projects have a corresponding transfer or chart, meaning you can start embroidering straight away. To transfer, simply cut out the transfer motif and iron it onto your crochet just as you would transfer onto regular fabric.
All the transfers are bound into the back of your book, with a handy pocket on the inside back cover for storing them.

Anna Nikipirowicz was taught to knit and crochet as a child by her very talented mother, but without practice, the techniques were quickly forgotten. In 2005 she rediscovered her skills and an obsession was born. A few years ago, she started designing and selling her patterns, and her designs are regularly featured in craft magazines. Anna is a keen YouTuber and runs her website www.moochka.co.uk where she shares her love of knitting and crochet. Anna is also a workshop tutor, teaching knitting and crochet across the UK.
Anna has written a number of best-selling, much-loved books such as 'Crocheted Wreaths for the Home', 'Tunisian Crochet Stitch Directory' and many more. Anna lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and cat.
