Editorial Reviews

Epstein's beloved "Edgings" series (Knitting over the Edge) branches out to crochet with this fourth volume. Starting out with crocheted edges on knitting, Epstein quickly moves on to decorative edgings for crocheted pieces. Like other volumes in the series, the edgings are grouped by stitch family, including ribs and bobbles, ruffles, floral patterns, fringes, and points and scallops. Each pattern is shown in a full-color photograph, described in text, and charted, allowing crocheters to choose the approach that works best for them. The book concludes with a variety of patterns utilizing the decorative edgings presented in the book. An essential addition to any library's collection.
