> Crochet So Fine: Exquisite Designs with Fine Yarns
> by
> Kristin Omdahl
>
> Kristin Omdahl's Crochet So Fine takes crocheted clothing from fussy to
> fashionable! By working with thinner yarns and more flexible stitches,
> crocheters
> can produce garments that are stylish and comfortable, figure-flattering
> without being form-fitting and great for layering. And just because the yarn
> is
> thin doesn't mean crocheters need to use the smallest of hooks, fine crochet
> can be quick and easy, too.Crocheters begin by exploring techniques specific
> to crocheting with fine yarns: gauge, blocking, and garment construction
> tips to maximize drape. Then they can choose from 20 projects including
> stunning
> crocheted pullovers, cardigans, jackets, capes, shawls, scarves, hats, and
> more. Many of the projects only require one or two skeins of yarn. The
> designs
> are interesting to make, using clever stitch motifs, innovative and
> traditional shaping methods, and a variety of crochet techniques and
> embellishment
> ideas. In addition to a variety of stitch patterns, motifs, and techniques,
> Crochet So Fine includes tutorials with detailed illustrations and
> instruction
> on Tunisian crochet, broomstick crochet, and hairpin lace. The garments
> include couture details such as colorwork, beading, lace, ruffles, tiers,
> and more.
