Cross stitch - Charlotte Gerlings

The crafts covered in this series are timeless, creative and rewarding. They have seen a recent surge in popularity as people look to save the pennies and return to a more traditional 'make do and mend' outlook on life.
Each book includes two or three specific projects for readers to get stuck into, with straightforward instructions and large, clear illustrations. These simple tasks include a crochet shawl, a patchwork quilt and a toddler's woolly hat with turn-up and pompom.
With a section on choosing the right equipment, glossary of terms and abbreviations and even a section on aftercare of your handmade products - as well as including both UK and US terminology - this is the perfect starter series that caters for all.
