"Everyday Crochet" is your new must-have collection of crochet designs. Doris Chan, the author of "Amazing Crochet Lace", presents 25 patterns for fresh and fashion-forward attire, with a variety of customisable options. With basic crochet skills, you can crochet tops, dresses, jackets, layering pieces and accessories - a wardrobe of versatile garments that can be mixed, matched and layered with the clothes women already have in the closet. Also included are techniques for shaping stitches in pattern and a special focus on shells of all kinds. Using a variety of closed and open stitches, yarns and colour ways, you can make wearable ensembles for any season and any mood. Many patterns offer simple fitting tips and options for adjusting length, sleeve and neckline, as well as sizing for ample figures to help achieve a signature look. Whether you're a crochet newbie seeking inspiration or an old pro looking for a new take on this fun craft, "Everyday Crochet" is packed full of innovative designs for stylish, up-to-the-minute crochet clothing and accessories.
Doris Chans crochet garments and accessories have appeared in publications such as Family Circle Easy Knitting and Michaels Arts and Crafts magazines, and in several books, including the Lion Brand Just series. She lives in Pennsylvania.
