Hard Crochet

Mr Dittrick has written a book on how to make "hard" crochet. THis isn't crochet you need a special hook for or special yarn - this is crochet for such things as Stetson hats, baskets and hard brimmed hats. Mr Dittrick shows how to modify an already existing hook to help you to create hard crochet. The instructions are clear and helpful. If you're looking for a new afghan or poncho to make, this is not the book for you. But if you're interested in turning out something unexpected with crochet, this is definitely the book for you.

This book will change your attitude about crocheting and what you can do with it. You will learn how to crochet beautiful brimmed hats, baskets, and luggage. Definitely NOT your afghan, granny square vests, and lace shawl kind of crocheting.
