Margret Willson presents 72 unique stitch patterns, along with a variety of projects including simple items like afghans and dishcloths, and more complex garments like pullovers and cardigans.

Using many of the same techniques that make Corner-to-Corner (C2C) crochet so popular, Center-to-Corner crochet begins each piece at the center and works to the outside edge. 7 great designs are included. Market Bag is made with simple chain spaces within the basic Center-to-Corner stitch to create an openwork bag. Cables and puff stitch bobbles add texture to half double crochet fabric in Cable Corners Afghan. You can also find a delicate doily with a floral center and corners with diamonds set in lace, along with a triangle shawl worked from center back neck to lower edge with openwork—the stitch creates its own sawtooth edge. And there’s more!
