Chair backs

Dive into a hands‑on guide that turns a simple chair back into a canvas for intricate crochet art. Written by one of America’s most trusted needlework designers, the book opens with a friendly invitation to send your stitching questions straight to the expert’s studio. It lays out everything you’ll need—yardage of mercerized cotton, hook size, and even color suggestions—so you can gather supplies before the first stitch.

From there, the patterns unfold row by row, each instruction paired with clear, easy‑to‑read diagrams. The centerpiece, a lively “Perennial Pinepineapple” motif, is built up through repeatable shells, treble crochets, and subtle lace stitches, guiding you toward a finished back that measures just over eleven inches. Ideal for intermediate crocheters, the book also offers tips on adjusting yarn weight and customizing color palettes, encouraging you to make each chair a unique statement piece.
