Patterns & Designs for the Minimalist Maker

Modern Crochet by Teresa Carter is a comprehensive crochet reference that covers both the foundational skills and a collection of 16 original patterns. The approach is clean and contemporary — projects lean minimalist, with an emphasis on understanding the craft well enough to work independently from any pattern.

The book covers tool selection, yarn, pattern reading, and a library of 15+ stitches and techniques before moving into the project collection. Teaching support is extensive: 150+ step-by-step photos, 25+ video tutorials, and an online resource library.

The 16 patterns include:

• Basket, coaster, wall hanging
• Infinity scarf, faux fur cowl, velvet scrunchie
• Bobble pillow, oversized throws, and more

Reference charts cover the complete crochet abbreviation legend and US hook sizes. Suitable for beginners building a foundation and experienced makers looking for a clean, well-structured reference.
