The Go-To Book for Irish Crochet Motifs

Anyone who has ever tried to make an Irish crochet motif using Vintage pattern books most likely ended up confused, frustrated, and a bit bewildered. Those patterns are at best a bit vague, written in unclear, imprecise wording that makes them hard for the average crocheter to interpret. The Go-To Book for Irish Crochet Motifs takes these lovely motifs and writes them in such a manner that they make sense to the modern-day crocheter. Thus, these stunning motifs are forever preserved, to be used now and in the future. The ten chapters include Stitches & Techniques, Flowers, Leaves, Fill-in Motifs, Edgings and Insertions, Dangles, Overlays, Fill-in Lace, Assembly, and Squares or Motifs.
