Crochet Chic: Haute Crochet Scarves, Hats & Bags

By Francine Toukou

Book Overview

Crocheting accessories can be a quick, simple, and rewarding way to enhance a wardrobe--and build needleworking skills. Thanks to Francine Toukou, these sophisticated patterns have a distinctively urban edge, sassy design aesthetic, and imaginative use of color. Stitchers of every level will want to grab their hooks and dive into such fashionable projects as a lovely pink mohair neck wrap with frilly, feminine edges; a snuggly brown scarf, worked in chunky wool and featuring flower attachments along its length; and a fabulous elongated clutch with a snap closure and decorative medallion. In addition to the basic stitches, Toukou offers invaluable advice on working with budget yarns and mastering special skills, including tassel-making, felting, and appliqu. ? ? ?
