    About this ebook

    The crochet designer and author of Modern Crochet Bible introduces extreme crochet techniques with eight projects using t-shirt and other chunky yarns.
     
    Extreme crochet is not for the faint of heart. It calls for the biggest hooks, the chunkiest yarns, and some stuff that’s not even yarn at all. But for the intrepid crocheters who are up for the challenge, it’s fun, thought-provoking, endlessly versatile, and immensely satisfying.
     
    In Extreme Crochet with Chunky Yarn, Sarah Shrimpton initiates you into the world of extreme crochet. With illustrated step-by-step instructions, she shows you how to use a range of big hooks as well as a variety of traditional and contemporary materials. You can choose chunky, high-loft woolen yarns, or fabric and T-shirt yarns, string, rope, washing line or even make your own. If it’s long and cord-like, then you can probably crochet with it.
     
    Plus you can test your skills with eight original extreme crochet projects, including beautiful home wares and fashion accessories.
     
    Remember: this is a double knit-free zone!

    INTRODUCTION

    BIG IS BEAUTIFUL…

    Extreme crochet. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Imagine the biggest hooks, the chunkiest yarns and some stuff that’s not even yarn at all, and you’re on the right track. Extreme crochet is fun and addictive, quirky and thought-provoking – and immensely satisfying. It’s about thinking outside of the (yarn) box. Choose chunky, high-loft woollen yarns, or fabric and T-shirt yarns, string, rope, washing line or even make your own. If it’s long and cord-like, then you can probably crochet with it.

    I should warn you, however that it can be hard work; the yarn is sometimes tough on your fingers, the projects can be big and cumbersome to work with, and wielding a mammoth hook takes a little practice, too. But my goodness, it’s fun. And don’t get me wrong, hard work it may be, but difficult it isn’t; projects come together very quickly and ginormous stitches mean that it’s easy to see what you’re doing.

    So what can you do with extreme crochet? My answer, dear Reader, is anything you like. It’s perfect for maxing out the classics: want a cushion? Super-size it with big yarn. A blanket? Whip up one in a day with mega wool. A necklace? Walk on the wild side with T-shirt yarn. Extreme crochet doesn’t have to mean that everything you make is massive, just that everything you make is awesome.

    SERIOUSLY, THE SKY’S THE LIMIT.

    This book will initiate you into the world of extreme crochet. It’ll show you how to work with a variety of traditional and contemporary materials, alongside a whole range of big hooks to create beautiful homewares and fashion accessories. And there’s one thing I can assure you, the only Double Knit yarn you'll find in this
