About this title

Synopsis

Do you have a passion for vintage fashion? If so, you’re guaranteed to love the 35 patterns in Geek Chic Crochet. With a combination of cute, quirky and cosy items, you will find clothes suitable for any occasion, all inspired by retro designs. If you’re meeting for coffee with friends, the tank top in orange and black is perfect teamed with jeans and flats. Heading out to see a band? Opt for the crocheted skirt and brogues. And for a winter walk, wrap up in the granny-squares scarf. For the summer months there’s a cute crop top to wear to the beach and cool cover-ups to put on when the sun goes down. You’ll also find accessories to complete an ensemble – the collar is perfect for giving a new lease of life to last year’s favourite dress or adding detail to a coat. Finally, there are brightly coloured pillows for your bedroom and an oversized hoodie that’s perfect to relax in the day after the night before. Making your own clothes is also fun and rewarding. Even if you have never crocheted before, you’ll find easy patterns to stitch, plus an extensive techniques section explaining everything you need to know.
