designer, Robyn Chachula, works as an architect, has babies and designs
architecturally-inspired best-selling fashions! Her newest offering in the “Blueprint”

projects and break them in little chunks that anyone can understand. Her book
will become the go-to guide for anyone who has ever been frustrated by less
than pleasing results when crocheting garments. It is also a fantastic
reference for wannabe fashion crochet designers, as well as a for seasoned
professionals.
A one-of-a-kind,
Blueprint Crochet Sweaters provides
an approachable introduction to the topic giving readers a deeper understanding
of crochet design, and helping them to make better-fitting garments in the
process. Robyn’s purpose is to show the reader the various ways that garments
come together. She uses sewing tools to provide a better understanding of
crochet patterns and to demystify the making of changes and customizations
based on their style and fit preferences.
In her
collection of sixteen patterns focused on four basic garment types, classic,
unique, clever motifs and top-down, Robyn’s friendly tutorial breaks down
garment design into easily digestible parts and offer readers a deeper
appreciation and understanding of crochet.
