Crochet Southwest Spirit by Susan Kennedy

$24.99

Create over 20 Bohemian patterns with Susan Kennedy, the author of Crochet Southwest Spirit. Peaceful color palettes drawn from the mountains, mesas, valleys, deserts, rivers, and rock formations of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona bring a relaxed vibe to these beginner and intermediate patterns. Author Susan Kennedy of Pretty Peaceful Crochet is blessed by beautiful geography, living in the gorgeous San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado near Durango. She loves to make boho home décor inspired by the nature around her that is as practical and durable as it is beautiful. You’ll find blankets, pillows, rugs, baskets, towels, wall hangings, wraps, and tote bags in this collection. Here, simple serape-style stripes are right at home next to intricate southwestern tapestry crochet patterns.

Math and geometry create inspirational and complex patterns that are broken down into simple, stitchable pieces. Patterns don’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. Crochet Southwest Spirit makes the most of the meditative repetition and soothing rhythm of crochet for maximum crochet enjoyment and satisfaction. Many of the projects are perfect to crochet while unwinding over a weekend.

This book includes the history of textile traditions of the southwest, and photo tutorials for stitches, fringes, borders, Tapestry Crochet, Mosaic Crochet & Blocking.
