In the Author's Words.....
Hip to Crochet
"With crochet's recent surge in popularity, an enthusiastic new generation is eagerly exploring it great potential. In writing this book, I wanted to create designs that represent the crochet of today; however, I've allowed the crocheter's fondness for vintage patterns to help shape designs that are contemporary, yet classic. Today's creocheters easily can construct (but aren't limited to) the projects in Hip to Crochet, and while some projects may have roots in the past, they all have a very viable, fun, and fresh purpose in the present."From the introduction
From the publisher.....
Hip to Crochet
"Judith Swartz, knitwear designer, teacher, and author of the best seller, Hip to Knit, re-envisions this traditional handcraft with 23 fashion-savvy garments and chic home acessories.
Get started with a chapter on basic crochet stitch techniques, hook sizes, yarn gauges, and finishing techniques.
The new crochet is anything but square! Using fine to worsted-weight yarns of mohair, kid mohair, merino, angora blends, or lines, learn to crochet a few simple scarves and hats before tackling more advanced projects.
Step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and beautiful photos guide you through designs such as the Bohemian Coat Sweater, a Mohair hat, Retro Bed Slippers, a Block-on-block Skirt, an Easy Pullover Sweater, Striped Mittens, and an assortment of trend-setting bags.
Also included are baskets, pillows, and a throw to add a stylish twist to our home dÚcor.
Projects can be personalized and modified to your taste with a variety of yarn types and colours, and with your choice of embellishments."
