Exquisite Crochet Shawls


Book Description

Versatile, timeless, and exquisite describe the five beautiful shawls in this project book. Made using size-three thread, the Celtic Nature Shawl has round motifs worked seamlessly together, giving the impression of lacy detail work—yet it’s easy to make. The Alborada Shawl uses a fine-weight cotton yarn and is made of pineapple shapes that create a sophisticated lace effect. Random placement of different motifs make for a beautiful edge for the Art Deco–inspired shawl that uses a DK-weight yarn. The Galician Sea Shawl is sea shell and ocean inspired. Worked from the top down and using a lightweight yarn, two separate sections are pieced together at a center spine and finished with a beautiful edging. The Voloreta Stole, using a ripple stitch and superfine-weight mohair yarn, is an exquisite soft and airy stole. Big enough to wear around the shoulders and cozy enough to wear as a winter scarf, it is trimmed with unique crocheted balls that dangle. For those with beginner and intermediate skills, these shawls will add that extra touch to the most basic wardrobe.

Big Yarn, Beautiful Lace Knits


Book Description

Lace gets a whole new look! Lace has traditionally been knit in finer weight yarns to create airy, delicate designs. But when knit in bulky yarns, lace becomes bold, graphic, and dramatic. Working with thicker yarns also makes the projects move along more quickly and the lace repeats shorter, so it's easy to learn new stitches and techniques. For those new to bulky yarns, Barbara Benson shows you how these yarns work best in lace designs and provides tips and tricks for reading and executing lace patterns. Then you are ready to knit any of the 20 patterns for beautiful lacy shawls, mitts, hats, cowls, blankets, and more. Gorgeous photography by Gale Zucker shows the pieces to their full, stunning effect. Get those big needles and chunky yarn ready to roll!
