Each motif is displayed in a close-up color photograph next to a clear, easy-to-follow stitch diagram. The instructions are also written out in full so you can choose the way you prefer to work. Full instructions are given for the type of yarn to use, the tension and the size of the motif, plus tips on how to achieve the best result. There are also sketches and photos showing how the motif can be used, either on its own, with several together, or partnered with other motifs.
