Crochet Series No. 7: Crochet Accessories

This book includes 29 crochet accessory patterns covering a wide variety of practical and modern items. You will find hats, cowls, scarves, bags, legwarmers and complete sets designed for everyday use or special occasions. Each piece can be worked individually or combined with others in the same style to create personalised sets.

In addition, many of the accessories are crocheted in a single piece and require no seams, making them quick to execute with a very neat finish. Thanks to the variety of shapes and sizes, you can adapt each project to your style, the season, or even the materials you already have at home. It is a perfect book for crocheting both for yourself and as gifts.

Yes, this book is very well adapted for beginner crocheters who already know the basic stitches (such as chain, double crochet and treble crochet). All projects are explained step by step, and the book also includes a basic course with stitch diagrams and useful advice on yarns, thicknesses and how to assemble the pieces.

The technical focus is on working in the round, which is very intuitive and easy to learn. As there is no need to sew pieces together, the projects are less complicated and more rewarding, as progress can be seen quickly. It is an excellent way to gain fluency in crochet while creating modern and functional accessories.

The projects are designed to be worked with large hooks, generally 10 mm or 12 mm, and with chunky yarns that provide volume and warmth. Many patterns recommend using acrylic yarns or blends with natural fibres, as they give good stitch definition and allow you to personalise each accessory with a wide range of colours.

In addition to yarn and hook, some designs include decorative elements such as pompoms, rings or buttons, all of which are easy to find. The book specifies the required materials for each project, including the number of balls, type of fibre and final measurements. This allows you to prepare in advance and adapt the models to your preferences or to what you have in your yarn stash.

Yes, one of the advantages of this book is its great flexibility for personalising projects. Veronika Hug provides the technical foundations of each pattern but leaves room for modifying length, width, colours or even stitch type if you already have some experience. This allows you to adapt each design to the climate, the style of the person who will wear it, or the yarn you have available.

Many of the accessories can easily be enlarged with extra rounds or made more fitted with fewer stitches. Since they are worked in the round and without seams, it is easy to adjust the size without altering the overall structure of the pattern. This creative freedom makes the book not only a collection of models but also a useful tool for experimenting and developing your own style.

Working in the round has multiple advantages, especially for those seeking speed, neat finishing and an easy-to-master technique. By working in spiral or with joined rounds, seams and joins that usually require extra time and attention are avoided. This not only speeds up the work but also produces pieces with a uniform and more professional finish.

Moreover, working in the round provides more freedom to create tubular, conical or circular shapes, which is perfect for hats, cowls, bags or legwarmers. In this book, Veronika Hug uses it as the basis for almost all projects, demonstrating that modern and structured designs can be achieved without resorting to complex techniques. It is ideal both for beginners and for those who prefer a practical and continuous style of crochet.
