"Doris Chan shakes up the crochet world once again, transforming familiar motifs into versatile designs that can be assembled or styled into multiple looks. A lacy cape transforms into a swinging skirt with a strategically placed crocheted braid; a cardigan unbuttons into a sari wrap or shawl; and a hexagon motif morphs from cozy throw to an easy vest just by changing a few joins."

Reviews

"Chan works in module style, explaining how to make one motif and then expand it into stylist wraps, dresses, and scarves. Chan's use of lace makes her designs both classic and hip, avoiding the bulky heaviness that regular crochet can have." --Publisher's Weekly
