description: 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. All stitch motifs include charts and the specialized techniques include how-to sections.
