About Wrapped in Crochet

Kristin Omdahl takes a fresh approach to crochet technique and construction in her new book Wrapped in Crochet (Interweave 2008).  Featuring stitch patterns exclusive to Kristin and this book, Kristin shares 18 stunning patterns for crocheted scarves, wraps, and shawls.

Wrapped in Crochet  includes:

• Techniques for every skill level of crochet
• Projects to fit every budget and time commitment
• Charts for every stitch pattern and motif featured in the book
• And, each pattern has diagrams for all constructions.
