Crochet Adorned: Reinvent Your Wardrobe With Crocheted Accents, Embellishments, and Trims

For crocheters looking for something different or beginners who want a fun way tobreak into crochet, Linda Permann presents an ingenious reference to add clever touches of crochet to your wardrobe.

Crochet Adorned is about taking garments you already have and embellishing them with crocheted accents and trims. These simple crochet projects will give tons of personality to an array of clothes and home accessories whether it’s a T-shirt sitting in the back of the closet or a vintage find that might be a little plain. You’ll find fashion projects (Garden Party Cardigan, Modern Harlequin Dress, Scalloped Spring Jacket), home projects (Vintage Kitchen Trivets, Butterfly Apron), and accessories to crochet from scratch.

Crochet Adorned also includes crochet basics, tips on choosing the right garments, and a dictionary filled with 100 stitches, edgings, and motifs you can substitute into the projects—or use as the building blocks for your own creations.

From easy appliques to delicate edgings, Crochet Adorned is full of solid techniques and stylish projects that will make it a must-have for fashion-conscious crafters.
