Raw
A collection of crochet patterns that celebrates the beauty of British wool and also celebrates the fact that crochet needn’t just be blankets. The patterns include a cardigan and sweater plus four accessories hat, mittens, socks and a shawl, with easy to follow directions and clear charts.
The Accessories Project Book One
What’s better than a nice handmade hat? A handmade hat with matching accessories to keep your hands and neck warm too. Four accessory sets so you can chose whether you want a complete matching set or a bohemian mix. There’s a wealth of interesting techniques and constructions and one set is even made from our own hand dyed Ainsworth & Prin Blue Faced Leicester DK.
Patterns are written using UK crochet terms with American terms in the abbreviations section, all are charted and come with a schematic.
The Crochet Project Altair Shawl
A light as a feather, easy to wear shawl…whether you wear it in the day to keep the sun off your shoulders or in the evening to battle the chills. It is named for the Altair geometric colouring books, the forerunners of the modern adult colouring obsession because the striking geometric lace pattern reminded me of my love for them.
One Size: 145 cm / 57” long x 65 cm / 25½” across at widest point after blocking
Yarn: Lace weight; 754 m / 825 yds per 115 g skein
Tension: 5 patt reps & 13 rows = 10 cm / 4” over lace pattern
Hook: 2.5 mm crochet hook
Note: There is no direct US conversion for a 2.5 mm hook so if you can’t find this size, work with either a US B/1 or C/2 depending on whether your gauge is loose or tight, and always use a hook size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.
Notes: Altair starts at one point and is worked in a pattern that increases on the neck edge towards the shortest edge. RS and WS are notional as pattern is fully reversible. As the pattern starts at a point it makes sense to start the pattern as your swatch. Stop, wash and block the piece to check tension and drape then if satisfied you can continue to work.
UK crochet terminology used throughout.

The Learn to Crochet Project – A Beginners Course
As makers and designers we have always been more interested in things to wear than things for the home. And it is fair to say that we get very frustrated with some of the useless items that beginners get given to make (mug cosies we are looking at you!) That’s why in this book we have focussed on wearable items. There is something very wonderful about being able to make something to wear right from the beginning. There’s no better feeling than being able to respond to a comment about your clothing by saying “Thanks, I made it!”
So let’s get you crocheting! We have written the book as though it is a course so it is best to start at the beginning and work your way through the text and the projects in order.
It contains 4 projects over 80 pages:
The Burwell Cowl is the first project in the book and is designed to help you practice your basic stitches.
The Wicken Mitts are an introduction to working into row ends, following a pattern and making something to fit.
The Bottisham Hat introduces you to working in the round, making a traditional motif, working seamlessly and decreasing.
The Quy Shawl introduces you to reading charts, working lace patterns, picots, understanding special stitches, increasing in pattern.
The book is written in UK standard crochet terminology and has a full discussion of the differences between the UK and US standards and makes references to the US terms throughout.
The Shawl Project Book Three
Five shawl patterns based on mini-skein sets. The patterns work well whether you want to invest in a mini skein set or if you want to use up small amounts of yarn left over from other projects, with each pattern using either a 100g pack of 4ply mini skeins or a pack of skeins and an additional 100g.
Patterns are written using UK crochet terms with American terms in the abbreviations section, all are charted and come with a schematic.
The Shawl Project Book Two
Five new designs from The Crochet Project for stunning shawls all using two 100g skeins of 4ply yarn.
Patterns are written using UK crochet terms with American terms in the abbreviations section, all are charted and come with a schematic and if you’re feeling adventurous there’s a section on designing your own shawl.
