Interlocking Crochet by Ana-Maria Babanica

50 reversible stitch patterns and five projects for the modern crocheter by Ana-Maria Babanica

Learn an innovative crochet technique for creating beautiful, reversible fabrics with this comprehensive stitch guide by crochet expert and author, Ana-Maria Babanica.

This practical guide introduces you to the world of interlocking crochet, a method that uses just two familiar stitches (double crochet and chain stitch) to create intricate colorwork with surprising ease. Often considered simpler than mosaic crochet, interlocking crochet offers endless creative possibilities through its clever construction.

By interlocking two layers of mesh as you work, you’ll produce fabrics that are reversible by design: some featuring matching motifs on both sides, others revealing a completely different pattern when flipped over.

Inside, you’ll find 50 stitch patterns to explore and adapt in your own projects, each presented with clear step-by-step instructions and detailed photography. Whether you’re building confidence with colorwork or already comfortable exploring complex textures, this book provides all the guidance you need to master the technique.

To put your skills into practice, you’ll also discover five fully reversible garment and accessory projects, designed to showcase the beauty and versatility of interlocking crochet.
