Publisher's Synopsis
In Coastal Crochet, award-winning author, Karen Whooley combines her love of the western coastline of the United States along with her way of creating intricate-looking patterns with what has become her trademark simplicity. All of the projects are designed for today's crocheter.
Imagine walking along the beach of a rocky shoreline. Your bare feet are warmed by the golden sand. Cool water is lapping gently on your toes. The sun is shining in a clear blue sky. You can feel a gentle breeze against your skin. It's a magical place that lulls your heart and mind to quiet introspection.
Coastal Crochet includes 12 beautiful projects that evoke that feeling of joy and wonder of the coast. Made with either fingering or lace weight yarns, each will inspire you to create your own place of joyful tranquility.
The projects are worked using lace weight to fingering weight yarns and are suitable for every crocheter who is comfortable with basic crochet stitches. Each pattern includes charts, a special stitches section, as well as written text to help the crafter work easily and comfortably through the pattern. The book also contains hints and information on how to adjust the projects to work with heavier yarns and to customize a design to your personal taste.
Written with Karen's exceptional eye for detail, the book has a lovely variety of styles, shapes, and designs to choose from, and Karen's easygoing, down-to-earth approach will have you creating the whole collection in no time!
