Creating crochet fabric - Dora Ohrenstein

This isn?t just another crochet project book; it?s an exploration of the craft?s creative possibilities! Designer Dora Ohrenstein closely examines crochet?s 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.
