Cro-knitting : The new art of worsted work : also crocheted lattice work

A fresh twist on hand‑craft emerges as the book introduces “cro‑knitting,” a seamless blend of crochet hooks and knitting needles that lets each stitch dance between the two techniques. By alternating rows of knitting and crocheting, the method creates textures and patterns that feel both familiar and entirely new, inviting makers to experiment beyond traditional borders. The guide walks readers through the essential tools—a matching pair of needles and a hook of equal length—and explains why specific mercerized cottons, sturdy macramé cords, and even gleaming metal threads are recommended for the best finish.

Beyond the fundamentals, the volume offers a lively collection of original designs, from elegant lattice panels to bold, worsted‑weight projects, each accompanied by clear, step‑by‑step directions. The author stresses sticking to the suggested yarns, noting that the tested results hinge on those precise materials. Whether you’re aiming for delicate laces, sturdy bags, or ornamental décor, the book equips you to explore a surprisingly versatile craft that bridges two beloved traditions.
