Book Synopsis

Make a Statement with Wearable Art

Have you ever seen a fashion piece that made you stop in your tracks? Get ready to be wowed by the magnificent wearables by innovative crochet artist and founder of CrochetHighway, Ana-Maria Babanica. Ana-Maria uses the interlocking crochet technique to create a stunning, durable, double-sided fabric--so each piece can be turned inside out for two completely different looks. With vibrant colors peeking through the interlocking stitches, this brilliant method will add a spectacular twist to your handmade collection.

Ana-Maria has packed this pattern book full of variety with 7 mini collections, each featuring one statement sweater and one or two matching accessories, such as a hooded cowl, scarf or beanie. All sweaters are size-inclusive with sizes XS to 5X. At the beginning of each collection, Ana-Maria walks you step by step through making a gauge swatch.
