From fiber artist Toni Lipsey of TL Yarn Craft, an introduction to the craft of Tunisian crochet--a unique crochet style that looks more like knitting--with 20 projects for beginners. There are hundreds of books that explore traditional crochet, but there are few that reference the concept of Tunisian crochet or present it in a modern, approachable way. The Tunisian Crochet Handbook introduces this fascinating and rewarding technique with a wide array of stitches and design possibilities. The goal of this book is to guide crocheters step-by-step through Tunisian crochet, starting with tools and yarns, transitioning into how-to's and stitches, and finishing with easy but engaging patterns. Every shawl, garment, and accessory featured takes makers beyond the basics, introducing new stitches to expand their skill sets. In this way, author Toni Lipsey is reintroducing crochet and encouraging makers to explore the craft further with each new design. Crochet continues to grow in popularity, and this guidebook offers a new take on the timeless classic, one that readers won't be able to find anywhere else. Includes instructional sections and patterns, complete with the necessary schematics and styled, chic photographs.About the AuthorToni Lipsey is the founder of TL Yarn Crafts, which she started in 2013 with the goal of modernizing crochet and making it accessible to a new generation.

Crocheting has always been a passion of mine, ever since my grandmother taught me how to make my first scarf when I was a child. There's something so therapeutic about working with yarn and creating something beautiful with your own two hands. So when I came across the Crochet Huggable Animal Companions book, I knew I had to get my hands on it. The book is filled with 30 unique patterns for crafting soft and cuddly animal friends that are good for snuggling up with. From adorable puppies and kittens to quirky unicorns and dinosaurs, there's a pattern in here for everyone. Each pattern is easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for beginners. One of my favorite patterns in the book is the sleepy sloth. Sloths have always been one of my favorite animals, with their slow and gentle nature. The pattern was easy to follow, and before I knew it, I had my very own crocheted sloth to cuddle up with on lazy Sunday afternoons. I also love the fact that these huggable animal companions bring comfort and happiness. There's something special about having a handmade friend to keep you company when you're feeling down or just need a little extra love. Plus, they make great presents for friends and family members who could use a little pick-me-up. Crocheting these animal companions has become a relaxing and enjoyable hobby for me, and I can't wait to try out more patterns from the book. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to add a little bit of joy and creativity to their life. So grab your crochet hook and some yarn, and get ready to craft some adorable new friends!
