Book Description
This isnt just another crochet project book; its an exploration of the crafts creative possibilities! Designer Dora Ohrenstein closely examines crochets three basic variables – hook, yarn, and stitch – and how their infinite combinations create distinctive fabrics. Dozens of swatches show which techniques will result in a structured, hardwearing fabric or a lacy one that drapes; how a yarn can either hide or show off stitch patterns; and which crochet patterns can mimic plaid or colourful African designs. Fifteen projects move readers from theory into practice.
