Crochet lace is more popular than ever, and Colorful Crochet Lace brings it to life in living color. Designer Mary Jane Hall has created a stunning collection of 22 chic and wearable lace garments and accessories. You’ll find a wardrobe’s worth of colorful lace designs from chic shrugs and scarves, to cozy cardigans and tunics, to stylish dresses, T-shirts, and totes. The designs include simple, allover openwork patterns, as well as more intricate crochet lace patterns and motifs, which are worked in a variety of yarn weights and in a glorious range of colors from elegant jewel tones to earthy neutrals.
Several of the projects are constructed using the Graduated Stitch Method, a technique Mary Jane developed that allows for shaping and customized fit without increases or decreases, and many of the patterns include instructions for modifying designs and creating variations. With clear instructions, detailed stitch diagrams, and gorgeous photography, Colorful Crochet Lace makes it easy and fun to create exquisite crochet fashions.

I haven’t tried a pattern yet but they appear to be clearly written with diagrams and a lot of colorful pictures.
Very Beautiful Crochet Book! Colorful Crochet Lace is a one-of-a-kind crochet book. With tons of variety and so many easy instructions, there will be something in this book for everyone. With no increases or decreases in these patterns, even the beginner crocheter should have very few problems. I think this book takes crochet to a whole new level and proves that crochet garments are here to stay.
