The Crochet Tin Book Mixed media product

The Crochet Book is an irresistible gift set that is the perfect introduction to this traditional craft.

Bringing her modern take to crochet, Cath Kidston has designed a colourful patch cushion that will cheer any room.

Using double-knitting weight yarn in six upbeat, bright Cath Kidston colours, you can now make your very own Cath Kidston cushion. Packaged in a bright floral design, re-useable tin, this gift set includes everything you need to make the cushion including six balls of yarn, one red metal 4mm crochet hook plus a double-sided pattern sheet that gives all the instructions for making up the cushion.

In addition, the gift set includes a 48 page paperback booklet containing all the essential information on the basic crochet techniques, including foundation chains, single crochet, double crochet, changing colours and finishing off.

There are even some alternative ideas for what else you can make with your crochet patches in case a cushion isn't for you.

With clearly written instructions accompanied by explanatory diagrams, The Crochet Book will tempt everyone to pick up a hook and start crocheting.
