The only sewing will be the buttons or embellishments to adorn your finished work. A myriad of techniques will include: crochet cast-on and cast-off; provisional cast on; 3 needle bind off; one row buttonhole; after thought pockets; duplicate stitch; mattress stitch; jogless join; M1L/M1R increases, picking up stitches and more!
