Embroidered Crochet : Enchanting Projects to Crochet and Embroider

Double crochet (US single crochet) forms a dense, firm base that’s ideal for stitching on using either crochet yarn or stranded cotton.

The effect is a beautiful, textured, raised design that combines the delicacy and charm of embroidery with the soft, tactile feel of crochet.

This means you can transform crocheted items into stunning, intricate pieces. Beginning with a basic introduction to the materials, tools and techniques, including stitch instructions for both crochet and embroidery, delve into a collection of 10 pretty projects.

Discover an enchanting meadow-themed tapestry, a basket set emblazoned with roses, a granny-square blanket adorned with woodland birds, enchanting mushroom bunting and more. Each project begins with a crochet pattern, followed by detailed instructions on how to embroider your items.

All the projects have a corresponding transfer or chart, meaning you can start embroidering straight away.

To transfer, simply cut out the transfer motif and iron it onto your crochet – just as you would transfer onto regular fabric. All the transfers are bound into the back of your book, with a handy pocket on the inside back cover for storing them.
