Crocheters will satisfy their hunger for cool things to
create by feasting their eyes on Brett Bara's Clever Crocheted Accessories. Brett, the former editor of Crochet Today, collects twenty-five
unique small crochet patterns that make perfect gifts-though you may be tempted
to keep them all for yourself!
The idea curator, Brett shares a first-rate lineup of
projects that appeal to beginners and experts alike, from the porkpie crochet
hat and a tap to drapey shawls to cozy men's socks, and bags. Crochet
techniques covered in the book include Tunisian crochet, broomstick lace, and
Bruges lace.
Created by an all-star roster of designers such as Robyn
Chachula, Doris Chan, Drew Emborsky, Linda Permann, and Vickie Howell, each
project possesses that "wow" factor crocheters long for.
