Roundabout Books is pleased to host local fiber artist, designer and author Selena Baca to share details about her new crochet book, Crochet Layers to Love, at an in-store event on March 10 at 6:30pm.
Her newest book includes eight crochet top patterns in a modern, minimalist color palette. The tops are chic yet casual classics, perfect for layering under or over other items in your wardrobe. All patterns are achievable by an advanced beginner, using basic easy-to-learn stitch combinations and minimal shaping. They are a snap to make and a joy to wear for yourself or as a gift.
Salena will bring a showcase of samples to share and will discuss:
- Who she is and why she created this book
- The yarns she chooses, where you can find them, how you can substitute
- The sizes included
- The styles included
- How to measure for your best fit
- Common mistakes and how to overcome them
The patterns are approachable, quick, and adjustable for a range of sizes, allowing you to create pieces that fit your body and your style. The book includes a variety of comfortable tank tops, a cozy cropped sweater, a breezy cotton poncho, and light, airy tops.
Salena Baca is the author of Crochet in a Weekend, Two Simple Shapes = 26 Crocheted Cardigans, Tops & Sweaters, How to Crochet in 10 Easy Lessons, My Crocheted Closet, Crochet in a Day, Build Your Skills: Crochet Tops and Crochet for Christmas, among others. She resides in Bend.
