The Art of Crochet Blankets
Rachele Carmona, Interweave
This isn’t your ordinary crochet blankets book. Rachele Carmona finds inspiration from other art forms and uses them as the creative spirit behind these awe-inspiring blanket designs. She looks to weaving, digital art, fabric design, paper cutting, cement tile, and quilting for inspiration and translates design elements into new and innovative crochet designs. If you’re tired of granny-square afghans, this is the blanket book for you.
