Center pieces and lunch sets in crochet work

A practical guide for crocheters who love to make striking table décor, this volume walks you through creating elegant centerpieces and lunch sets step by step. Detailed instructions begin with simple medallions—small, medium and large—using clear abbreviations and helpful illustrations so even beginners can follow along. Each pattern includes material lists, stitch charts and concise row‑by‑row directions, letting you focus on the craft rather than deciphering cryptic codes.

Beyond the starter plates, the book expands to larger projects such as 24‑inch centerpieces composed of leafy motifs and intricate scalloped edges. The author explains fundamental stitches—chain, single, double, treble, picot and slip—along with handy tips for handling Cordonnet crochet cotton and steel needles. Whether you’re preparing a seasonal banquet or looking for a satisfying hobby, the collection offers versatile designs that can be customized with color or kept classic in black and white.
