With crocheting, the possibilities are endless—sometimes we just need some inspiration. Melody Griffiths begins with the simplest crosses and spirals to geometric shapes, pictures, lacy patterns, and bold, beautiful flowers. There are 50 projects to choose from, including a butterfly brooch, holly greetings cards, an openwork afghan, button baby blanket, tie belt, and a cherry border cardigan. The motifs are thoroughly explained, and Griffiths offers encouragement on how you can treat them as a jumping-off point for your own projects.
