978-1-62033-096-8)
True to its title, this book is chock-full of wonderful
accessories that any crocheter would love to make, and anyone would
love to receive as a gift.
Have you ever bought a book for just one or two
patterns that you liked? You will buy this book because you like every project.
The eye-catching designs include the Bon Vivant Stockings and the Gypsy
Slouch hat. Yarns used in the projects range from laceweight to
bulky. Techniques include lacework, color work, Tunisian, tapestry, adding
beads, crochet I cord, and textured crochet.
The patterns do not have a skill
rating, but with both written as well as graphic instructions, even a crocheter
with knowledge of the basic skills should be able to complete most of the
projects.
The back of the book has a section that reviews the basic stitches
and a few finishing techniques. The projects in It Girl Crochet are guaranteed to make you the "It Girl" of your
stitching group!
