Discover Two-by-Two Crochet, where two colors of yarn are crocheted into textured stitches using only a 2 row/round repeat. Each pattern in the book begins with a setup row to get the pattern started, then you simply work the 2-row/round repeat over and over. The main sections of all projects are created holding 2 different color stands of yarn together throughout. When working the single-color textured stitches, one color will be dropped to the back of the work until the last step, then both yarns will be used to finish the stitch. Includes instructions for 8 projects: 2 afghans, 1 baby afghan, an ear warmer, a lady's cap in 2 sizes, a reversible kid's cap in 5 sizes, a scarf, and an amazing ruana.
Author Biography
Bendy Carter grew up surrounded by professional artists. As a child she was taught a new craft each summer. But it wasn't until she saw her aunt crocheting that, at the age of 10, she embraced her heritage. The idea that one could use a stick with a hook on the end to turn a simple piece of string into just about anything created endless possibilities in her mind. Bendy began designing for family and friends, and in 1999, started submitting designs for publication. Hundreds of her patterns have been featured in books, free leaflets, and magazines. She has designed for celebrities and to date has written 18 crochet pattern books.
