Step-by-step illustrations for 13 classic stitches are provided, along with 20 stylish projects:

Wave Stitch - Used to create an intricate multi-coloured shrug
Seed Stitch - Perfect for fun bags of all sizes, from a fabulous drawstring bucket bag (with a scallop stitch) to a beautifully patterned pencil case
Cube Stitch - Enjoy using this to make a colourful vest and splashy tippet
Domino Stitch - A versatile stitch that can be used to create an elegant beret
And many more!

Each project comes with complete instructions and schematics. A dedicated section at the end shows you in detail how to execute each stitch, providing visual references to help you perfect your skills.

Perfect for "technique collectors" and needlecrafters looking for new angles and challenges, Tunisian Crochet - The Japanese Way is a fantastic adventure that you'll enjoy for years to come.

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
