Embrace the power of crochet to bring color and whimsy to every room in your home. In Crochet at Home, editor Brett Bara and her team of crochet experts have created 25 exciting projects to make every day modern. Explore a collection of practical, pretty pieces for your kitchen, living room, and bedroom: from a riotously colorful blanket, to a delicate bunting of crocheted snowflakes, to flower-inspired trivets that are anything but dull-and even a full-sized ottoman! Techniques such as felting, lace, and crocheting with wire will appeal to beginner and advanced crocheters alike. What's even better? The materials used won't break your piggy bank. Projects are made in affordable yarns, especially for large pieces and ones that take a beating, like kitchen accessories. The unique patterns you'll discover are from some of today's hottest crochet designers and range from simple to intermediate, but all are undeniably irresistible. Let Brett and friends show you their cheerful, affordable, and occasionally humorous take on home decor.
