Book Description
Complete Your Look with Crochet! Whether your laid-back style is vintage, modern, or somewhere in between, a crocheted shawl is nothing less than a wardrobe essential. It can turn up the personality of any outfit--especially if it's hand stitched by you! For this stunning collection, we dug into the Interweave archive and carefully selected 20 of our most-loved crochet shawls. Not just for spring, these shawls vary in weight and warmth, from light and lacy for a warm summer evening to cozy and textured to protect against winter's chill. So you can keep your hook busy year-round--and explore new techniques while you're at it. Try your hand at intricate lace work with the Eolande Shawlette. Explore a new motif with the Pleiades Shawl. Or add some beads to your stitching with the Emergence Shawl. Whichever shawl you crochet, it's sure to make a statement when you step out in boho style.

Crochet So Fine
Author: Kristin Omdahl
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1620331829
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Kristin Omdahl's Crochet So Fine takes crocheted clothing from fussy to fashionable! By working with thinner yarns and more flexible stitches, crocheters can produce garments that are stylish and comfortable, figure-flattering without being form-fitting and great for layering. And just because the yarn is thin doesn't mean crocheters need to use the smallest of hooks, fine crochet can be quick and easy, too. Crocheters begin by exploring techniques specific to crocheting with fine yarns: gauge, blocking, and garment construction tips to maximize drape. Then they can choose from 20 projects including stunning crocheted pullovers, cardigans, jackets, capes, shawls, scarves, hats, and more. Many of the projects only require one or two skeins of yarn. The designs are interesting to make, using clever stitch motifs, innovative and traditional shaping methods, and a variety of crochet techniques and embellishment ideas. In addition to a variety of stitch patterns, motifs, and techniques, Crochet So Fine includes tutorials with detailed illustrations and instruction on Tunisian crochet, broomstick crochet, and hairpin lace. The garments include couture details such as colorwork, beading, lace, ruffles, tiers, and more. All stitch motifs include charts, and the specialized techniques include how-to sections.
