THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE YOUNG CROCHETERS AT THE IMBABAZI ORPHANAGE IN GISENYI, WHERE I VISIT WHEN I GO TO RWANDA.
BY NICKY EPSTEIN
When my longtime friend, Cari Clement, asked if I would consider writing the foreword to her book, Embellished Crochet, I said, Of course! Whether its embellishing on, over, or beyond edges, embellishing for me is what makes a garment truly special, a signature the creator gives to her garment that makes it uniquely hers. While many crocheters can use the same basic stitch pattern to make a garment, adding a touch of embellishing can change a garments look dramatically and beautifully. Its the addition of just a few beads, some embroidery touches, a tassel, beaded fringesimple and easy techniquesthat make the garment special.
The projects in this book are just rightnot too much embellishing, not too few added accents. They range from the super-easy to the more challenging, encouraging you to learn as you create. Whats so wonderful about them is their simplicity of silhouetteallowing the embellishing to make them stand-out pieces. These designs also inspire you to incorporate the techniques learned from making them into other projects down the road.
I am honored to have been asked to write this foreword, and I feel the designers featured in Embellished Crochet should really be complimented for their amazing creativity, attention to detail, and willingness to dive into the expanding world of embellishing, headfirst.
The word embellished denotes a certain unique and very special individual type of creativity given to a garment. Nothing could be truer of the embellishing incorporated into the designs in this book: there are as many takes on the word as there are designers, and their talent and exacting attention to every detail is apparent in the amazing works of art theyve created.
I initially planned to create a pattern book, but as the designs began to arrive, I realized that technique descriptions, photographs, and charts would be necessary to enable readers to better understand the techniques used, and often created, by each designer. So this book has evolved into a combination of pattern and techniquetwo books in one!
The techniques used by a number of patterns throughout are described in Basic Techniques. All the other embellishing techniques that are unique to the individual patterns are shown in photographs and have detailed step-by-step instructions with the appropriate patterns.
The yarns in this book are as versatile as the techniques. Simply Soft is an exceptionally great yarn for bead crochet due to its size (light 4-ply), its smoothness (beads slide on well), and its ability to be easily split into two 2-plies for use in traditional and bead embroidery. And the colors are ideal for so many of the projects. Other Caron yarns, such as Bliss and Glimmer, also lend themselves especially well to the techniques employed by the designers.
But one of the things I like most about the designs in this book is how versatile the embellishing applications are. You can take a medallion, an embroidery stitch, a bead motif, or a stitch/embroidery combination and apply them to just about any project, making it a truly couturelike creation.
So have fun, enjoy the adventure, and crochet away!
These are techniques that are used throughout this book. Check the instructions for the project you are doing to determine if it incorporates any of these and, if so, take a few minutes to learn the steps.
INTEGRAL EMBELLISHING: BEAD CROCHET
While embellishing is usually reserved for the finishing section of a pattern, crocheting beads into a garment is really a separate technique from embellishing that often uses beads as applied accents.
There are many types of bead crochet stitches, ranging from at what point a bead is placed into the stitch to the type of stitch into which a bead is placed, and how frequently the beads are added. Bead crochet is usually worked on a wrong-side row, so that the bead will be on the right side of the fabric when the row is completed.
There are five different types of bead crochet used throughout this book:
- bead chain
- bead single crochet
- bead half-double crochet
- bead double crochet
- bead slip stitch
Each of these techniques is described below, and will be referred to in the pattern instructions. While there are several different ways to execute each of these techniques, usually at what point in executing the stitch the bead is slid down to the hook, we wanted to keep this book as easy-to-follow as possible, so only those techniques used in the pattern instructions are described here.
BEAD CHAIN (BC)
Note: There may be a bead on every chain or every other chain or whatever spacing the designer calls for in the pattern instructions.
- Thread the yarn with the appropriate number of beads.
- Begin by making a slip knot on hook; yarn over hook and pull up a loop (first chain).
- Slide down a bead as close to the hook as it can go.
- Yarn over and pull through a loop one; chain worked after the bead.
- Continue in this manner, working the number of chains indicated in the instructions between each bead.
