Most How to crochet books will get straight in to showing you the traditional stitches and you will likely have a go at making a dish cloth swatch. My most recent book which is “ Two Stitch Crochet Art “ is the most up to date. I wish I had the energy to make another book about “How to Cordcrochet” but It would give me severe brain ache. Making videos is so much easier, especially Now that I have a proper craft room. I have had craft rooms on a narrowboat, hay wagon, a bus a safari caravan, a static home and even on a boat in Australia! Now I make videos in a house! The two stitches I teach first are chain and slip stitch, then a flower. I also have a mixed media approach , so adding stitcky gems ( and bees and lady birds too) Adds a fun element instead of heaps of practice, I prefer wonky to straight edges. We don’t follow patterns, we experiment with hook and yarn and make it up as we go. I just spent an hour playing with cordcrochet. No rules.
