Textile designer Alexandre Callier-Taylor shares 20 fantastic knitting and crochet projects for any occasion in his book Jersey Yarn Creations by Search Press.
Jersey yarn (which you might also know as t-shirt or fabric yarn), enables projects to be completed quickly making them perfect to turn to when you need a speedy gift or just want a project you can complete in a hurry.
An illustrated guide to crochet and knitting techniques is found at the start of the book. The instructions are broken down into clear steps which are easy to follow and the crochet section provides a conversion chart for US/UK terminology.
The twenty projects are varied but focus mainly on homewares from cushion covers, baskets, bags and mats. A brilliantly inspirational book, with simple, fun projects, this is a great reference for knitting and crochet-lovers everywhere.
Jersey Yarn creations is available from all good book sellers including Amazon now (rrp. £ 7.99).
