Vintage crochet lace techniques, on-trend garments and accessories!
Lace is one of the hottest trends in crochet, but it is by no means a new technique. In Vintage Modern Crochet, best-selling author Robyn Chachula feeds the craze for lace by exploring five classic crochet lace techniques, reinventing them in beautiful, compelling ways.
Crocheters will fall in love with the featured tunics, cowls, shawls, pullovers, and even a crochet dress–all thoroughly wearable and on-trend, yet timeless. Each technique-themed chapter features a fascinating introduction: learn about pineapple lace, Bruges lace, filet lace, Irish crochet, and Tunisian crochet. Each design also features a "Technique Tidbit" that will give you valuable insight into working the pattern.
Robyn Chachula's vintage-inspired creations are all you need for a trendy one-of-a-kind wardrobe!

08/01/2016Chachula (Blueprint Crochet Sweaters) incorporates five vintage crochet lace techniques—pineapple lace, Bruges lace, filet lace, Irish lace, and Tunisian crochet—into modern garments and accessories in this collection of intermediate-level crochet projects. Each section begins with a brief overview of the technique, followed by three to five patterns, each including further instructions for specialty stitches, increases, and bind-offs. "Technique Tidbits" are included throughout to provide additional historical information or to offer suggestions for other designs suited to the technique. VERDICT Though all of the pieces fall into the general category of "lace," the differences can be striking, and crocheters with an interest in lace garments and accessories will enjoy these contemporary takes on old-fashioned techniques.
