Easy Crochet for Beginners
Easy Crochet for Beginners
Expert crafter Nicki Trench brings you 35 easy-to-follow patterns that will teach you how to crochet.
Nicki Trench, one of the leading figures in the revival and promotion of home crafts, has designed a series of patterns that will guide you from the initial crochet stitches to producing beautiful projects incorporating a wide range of techniques. Starting you off is Crochet Know-How, which explains all the stitches with clear step-by-step artwork and instructions.
Next, there are three chapters packed with patterns to improve your skills. In Starting Out, you will find a simple springtime throw and a pretty hat for a toddler, both of which you’ll find amazingly easy and quick to create.
Once you’ve mastered these, Practice Makes Perfect provides more of a challenge. Whip up some cute gifts for babies and young children, including baby bibs and blankets, or treat yourself to a pair of gloves in soft double-knit yarn and a chunky seashell scarf to keep you warm on chilly mornings.
Finally, Confident Crocheting has more advanced patterns, ranging from a family of adorable Russian dolls to a cherub dress with decorative picot stitching.

Missing or Misdelivered Parcels
At The Crafty Kit Company, we understand how disappointing it is when an order doesn’t arrive as expected.
If a parcel is marked as delivered by Royal Mail but hasn’t been received, we ask customers to carry out a few simple checks and allow a short period of time for it to appear. If it does not turn up, we take responsibility for resolving the issue.
Our team will never ask customers to repeatedly chase Royal Mail or prove non-delivery. Where a parcel cannot be located, we will offer a replacement or a refund promptly and fairly.
While we may raise claims with Royal Mail in certain circumstances, our priority is always to look after the customer and ensure a positive outcome.
Licensing and Delivery Territories
Some of our licensed products are available for sale and marketing within the United Kingdom and Ireland only. In line with EU competition law, we may passively fulfil orders from customers within the European Economic Area (EEA) — for example, if you find our website and choose to place an order — but we are not permitted to actively market, advertise, or sell outside the UK and Ireland.
Please note that we are unable to sell or ship certain licensed products to the USA and Canada. If you’re unable to add a licensed product to your cart, this unfortunately means we are not permitted to sell it in your region.
