"Note on crochet terms and conversions: I have used UK crochet terms, but US equivalents can be found on the inside of the back flap. The projects in this book have been made using metric measurements, and the imperial equivalents provided have been calculated following standard conversion practices. The imperial measurements are often rounded to the nearest 1/4 in. for ease of use except in rare circumstances." -- Title page verso.
