Crochet Wraps Every Which Way: 18 Original Patterns in 6 Techniques by Tammy Hildebrand is a DIY crafting guide to Exactly What It Says In The Title for making your own clothing accessories, free courtesy of publisher Stackpole, who hopefully are beginning a trend of offering us their quality non-fiction freebies again after a long hiatus.
One of the customer reviews notes that this may involve advanced techniques which require specialized equipment, while another notes that it also has beginner-suitable projects as well.
Currently free @
Amazon (likely to drop in the
main store after midnight Pacific Time, as Stackpole freebies used to regularly do; unlikely to show up in other stores, as they never did, though I will note that they are couponable @ Kobo if anything in their catalogue particularly catches your eye).
