Practical finishing advice covers blocking, pressing, and joining seams, so handmade pieces look neat and hold up to use.

Put those Crochet Basics to work with eight approachable projects, from a cozy hat and fashion scarf to a baby blanket, shell-stitch cardigan and cloche, textured dishcloths, market bag, granny throw, and diamond table runner. Each pattern includes materials, gauge, hook size, and straightforward instructions.
