Jewelry with a Hook: Crocheted Fiber Necklaces, Bracelets & More

By Terry Taylor

Book Overview

Two hot topics in one book--crochet and jewelry! Here's something special for crocheters who want to go beyond hats and afghans and for jewelry makers looking for new and adventurous ways to create jewelry. The 40 projects come from the finest contemporary crochet artists, and range from sleekly modern to whimsical, starched to felted, and boldly modern to daintily elegant. Create chunky rope bracelets out of large cord or a beaded tapesty pattern in a geometric cuff. Make a formidable design statement with a head-turning choker featuring a dragon and floral motifs. All the items use familiar stitches, as well as unusual techniques such as tapestry, Irish, and bead crochet, and some incorporate chains, pendants, and earwires for a finishing touch.
