Explore the world of micro crochet with this collection of crochet patterns and charts for 100 exquisite crochet motifs. Tiny objects are fascinating; from dollhouse miniatures to model railways, and this includes crochet. The classic granny square is transformed into something special when it's reduced to the size of a postage stamp. This collection of teeny, tiny crochet motifs from talented crochet designer, Steffi Glaves, explores the world of miniature in crochet form.
100 Micro Crochet Motifs by Steffi Glaves features the step-by-step instructions to help you create your own micro crochet. These wonderfully small motifs are beautifully detailed despite their small size and can be used for jewellery, accessories, appliques, decorations and embellishments. You will learn the central skills needed for micro-crochet, such as how to hold the thread and hook, reading a crochet chart, special edgings, blocking and stiffening. Alongside that, you will also learn about the tools and types of threads to use, and the special techniques needed for creating the motifs in this book, such as incorporating wire, creating tiny keepsake bags and making your own jewellery.
There are simple motifs with two to four rounds of crochet and more challenging ones with more rounds, colour changes and different stitches. Step-by-step instructions show you how to crochet intricately detailed motifs using fine cotton quilting thread and a 0.5mm crochet hook. Choose from a wide range of motifs including flowers, leaves & plants, fruit, triangles, granny squares, Christmas and even mini amigurumi. As well as the huge choice of motifs there are 10 projects showing you how to use the motifs for small projects such as jewellery and accessories and how to scale up the designs using thicker yarn and a bigger hook to make projects such as bags, bunting, accessories, wall hangings and cards.
