The Crochet Project - Everyday Wearables

Everyday Wearables is a collection of eight wardrobe staples with comprehensive instructions and many photo tutorials to help you make garments that fit and flatter.

Whatever your motivation for wanting to create a handmade wardrobe, crochet can readily be used to build a wardrobe full of wearable staples. Often crochet has been viewed as “best for homewares and novelties” and struggled to lose the reputation created in the 1970s of ill-fitting granny square jackets. With an in-depth understanding of how crochet fabric is created, the need for drape and taking fit and construction lessons from both knitwear and dressmaking, Joanne Scrace has designed some fabulous wearable patterns.

The book includes a series of photo tutorials that take the adventurous beginner a step on and cover the skills needed to create beautiful pieces to cherish.

All patterns are written using standard UK crochet terminology (with US conversions given in the abbreviations) and charted where appropriate.
