Box Stitch Crochet by Corinne Freeman takes the box stitch, also known as the corner-to-corner stitch, to a whole new level. In the book you’ll find many elegant clothing and accessory projects that you’ll be proud to wear everywhere you go.

If you have never worked the stitch before, don’t worry, because the book has a special section that shows you step-by-step on how to crochet the stitch. You’ll find clear images and descriptions that show you how to increase and decrease. You’ll learn how to make squares, rectangles, motifs and a beveled edge. Color changes and joining box stitch squares are also covered in the book. Thus, the book provides you with all the know-how that you need to create these stunning projects. Below are some of my personal favorites from the book

The patterns in this book are absolutely beautiful! They are designed with elegance and therefore, are perfect for all occasions from everyday wear to fancy dinner parties, weddings and other celebrations. Although all projects in the book are fabulous and make for awesome gifts for yourself or anyone else, here are some of my favorites:

Alpaca Shrug

This shrug is perfect for the fall or even winter weather. It’s the perfect vest-like garment to go with anything and everything from jeans to dresses to give you an extra touch of warmth in the cooler weather.

Butterfly Shawl

See how beautiful this is with a skirt? I’m picturing this in a white for a bride or bridesmaid. Or, in a black for a funeral or a fancy dinner party. I especially love what she did with the lace around the edge, it’s a great way to show off your crochet talent.

Crossing Neck Scarf

I just love the tapered ends of this scarf. It’s really a beautiful design that you’ll be proud to wear and give as gifts, year after year. And you can wear it with a pin as shown, or wrap it around for a super cozy winter scarf.

Dusty Purple Stole

It’s like a super long scarf crocheted with two rows of diamond motifs. It’s totally genius, yet it looks simple enough for anyone to make.

Pomegranate Camisole

Instead of buttons, this camisole simply laces up at the front. Another brilliant idea.

Raspberry Hat and Gloves

It’s pictured with a simple top and jeans, but the elegant design of this hat is a perfect match for anything you have in your closet.

Twilight Dress

I love this dress; it’s a simple and mindless pattern, but perfect for all your summer events.

Under The Sea Motif Shawl

Of all the patterns, I would have to say this is my absolute favorite! The unique way in which the motifs are joined is absolutely stunning. And you can wear it in a number of ways to add a touch of style and to keep warm.
