The creative and versatile Bavarian two-round stitch technique makes this guide of 14 projects a unique alternative to standard crochet patterns. The characteristic diamonds accent everything from household wares, such as hot pads and a bag holder, to children's accessories and stylish fashion for adults that includes fingerless gloves and a cowl. Colorful photos inspire intermediate crocheters while the easy-to-follow instructions ensure successful results. Each of the projects is small enough that it can be worked on almost anywhere.
