Crochet So Fine

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.

Book Description
Versatile, timeless, and exquisite describe the five beautiful shawls in this project book. Made using size-three thread, the Celtic Nature Shawl has round motifs worked seamlessly together, giving the impression of lacy detail work—yet it’s easy to make. The Alborada Shawl uses a fine-weight cotton yarn and is made of pineapple shapes that create a sophisticated lace effect. Random placement of different motifs make for a beautiful edge for the Art Deco–inspired shawl that uses a DK-weight yarn. The Galician Sea Shawl is sea shell and ocean inspired. Worked from the top down and using a lightweight yarn, two separate sections are pieced together at a center spine and finished with a beautiful edging. The Voloreta Stole, using a ripple stitch and superfine-weight mohair yarn, is an exquisite soft and airy stole. Big enough to wear around the shoulders and cozy enough to wear as a winter scarf, it is trimmed with unique crocheted balls that dangle. For those with beginner and intermediate skills, these shawls will add that extra touch to the most basic wardrobe.

Languages : en
Pages : 179

Book Description
This volume of Tudor Roses presents new and reimagined garments based on the original Tudor Roses published in 1998. Alice Starmore looks to historical female figures of the Tudor Dynasty as inspiration for her stunning knitwear, and her modernization of traditional Fair Isle and Aran patterns has created a sensation in the knitting world. Through garment design, Starmore and her daughter Jade tell the stories of fourteen women connected with the Tudor dynasty. They weave a narrative around the known facts of their subjects' lives using photography, art, and the only medium through which the Tudor women could leave a lasting physical record in their world — needlework. Tudor Roses includes fourteen patterns for sweaters and other wearables that follow the chronological order of the Tudor dynasty. A different model portrays each of the Tudor women, from Elizabeth Woodville, grandmother of Henry VIII, through Mary, Queen of Scots. The stunning design and photography appeals to knitters seeking designs that offer an attractive balance of historic and modern elements.
