Advice is given on adjusting the width of the strips for smaller or larger blankets.The strip patterns are broken down into chapters including:- Classic Stitches- Tapestry Crochet- Mosaic Crochet- Texture- Cables and Ribs- EmbellishmentsThis collection offers almost infinite possibilities to create unique striped blankets that are fun to work on as well as beautiful when finished.As well as the 100 strip patterns, there are 5 example blankets showing different combinations of strips, plus additional ideas for using the strips in other ways, such as scarves, bags and homewares.
