Crochet has made a comeback: everyone from Prada to Roberto Cavalli featured it in their latest collections. It can have a delicate lacy beauty or it may be robust and hard-wearing - a modern fabric with practical uses. To be up-to-the-minute in the fashion stakes you need crochet, but what if you don't know how to crochet a simple chain, never mind interpret the strange language and complicated-looking instructions for anything more complex?
