A collection of unique and sophisticated crochet designs!

Enjoy Yumiko Alexander's showcase of eighteen clean, sophisticated crochet designs. Her garments feature eye-catching construction based on very simple lines that come together in unexpected ways.

Yumiko takes her inspiration from the natural worldâ€"tide-swept sand, shells, coral, shale rock formations, the colors of sunset. Her nature-inspired palette is brought to life using luscious yarns that are as pleasing to the hand as they are to the eye. These designs will appeal to crocheters seeking a more upscale look in their garments. Rustic Modern Crochet features designs in subtle earth tones and warm sunset hues that hold a cross-generational appeal. | "I don't know when I have been as excited about a crochet fashion pattern book as I am about Yumiko's new book Rustic Modern Crochet!
