Crochet has become more and more popular.

This is highly evident on the runway.

Most of the big designers are now turning to crochet

to give them that high end high impact fashion look.

Now you can create that look yourself at a fraction of the cost.

Margaret hopes to bring the accessibility of crochet to you

and uses a variety of styles and complexity levels

to bring that unique look to your wardrobe.

The book is separated into sections:

Sweaters & Jackets

Dresses & Skirts

Fashion Accents

With 21 patterns you've loads of projects to get started on.

Each of the patterns has the high impact look of a runway project.

Some of the patterns are quite challenging but I think that makes

the book all that more interesting.

Giving you that challenge expands your skills as well as your wardrobe.

Not only do you get an overall picture of the project you also

get different close up shots showing off the stitches and important shaping

of different items.

I love the fact that you can easily see how you can use the item

with other clothing to really dress up a look.

Not all the patterns are in all sizes.

All the patterns seem to be available in size medium

but the rest of the sizes vary depending on the pattern.

The sizes vary from:

small, large & extra large.

The patterns are in written and chart format.

Sizing charts are also provided to make it easier to block to size.

If you are looking for that something special to make

or just something to brighten up a piece of clothing

then I am sure you'll find this book very interesting.

 

I don't think this book would be suitable for a beginner

but if you are a confident crocheter then I am sure

you will be very busy :-)

 Overall this is an amazing book that brings together different

designs using crochet in an imaginative way.

The effects of the yarn and stitches give high impact and are sure

to get you noticed.

All of your friends will be wanting you to make them some of the fantastic projects.
