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.
