Take your crochet to the next level with Convertible Crochet by Doris Chan. Inside, you'll find 22 adaptable patterns that are designed to be worn with a variety of different looks, styles, and body shapes.

Convertible Crochet is all about mix-and-match crochet motifs, and you'll learn everything there is to know about crochet motifs including measuring, joining, finishing, and sizing them. What makes this particular crochet book unique is that Doris Chain reinvents traditional motif designs and transforms them into beautiful crochet designs that fit and flatter practically any shape. Plus, these unique crochet designs can even be assembled in a number of different ways. For example, a cardigan can turn into a wrap or shawl, and a basic hexagon can be turned into either a crocheted throw or a simple vest just changing a few joins as you crochet.

Chan's designs may look and seem complex, but her friendly approach makes it possible for even the novice crocheter to complete these pretty patterns. As you crochet your way through the book, the designs build on your previous designs. This enables you to incorporate your new skills and fully customize the pieces you make. You'll be amazed to learn how simple it is to turn single designs into a number of different motifs that are interchangable, connectable, and adaptable. Learn how it's done with the help of Doris Chan and Convertible Crochet!
