Review
"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

Doris Chan has done it again creating her signature lacey garments! If you are an intermediate or advanced crocheter who is looking for some new ways to use motifs, this is the book for you.As always, I took the book to my Fiber Fun Group of beginning crocheters. The designs and motifs were a big hit, but since they are mostly beginning crocheters, they felt at this point the projects were too difficult for them to crochet on their own.However, for an intermediate or advance crochet, these motifs present an exciting challenge. Each pattern can be assembled or styled into multiple looks. The 24 motifs are interchangeable, connectable and adaptable, creating 22 projects.Doris provides techniques for measuring, finishing and sizing so your garment reflects the real you. There are decorator suggestions on how to crochet buttons, rope and braids to add that designer touch. I especially liked the tip to use button studs to making your garments more versatile without committing to a button hole in a certain location.The instructions are clear and beautifully illustrated. My personal favorites are Titan Top page 75, T-Bird page 104, Kerry Top & Skirt page 120 and Andromeda Vest page 126.Doris designs beautiful doilies that fold, drape and grow into lovely items to wear.
I ran into the work of Doris Chan on Ravelry while looking for plus-sized sweaters to crochet for myself. I was so impressed with the resulting sweater that I came here looking for books she might have published.If you're a process person, this book is definitely for you. If you find yourself working on a pattern and thinking how you could adapt it to suit yourself, this book is also for you. If you've ever wondered how to design something with sleeves or how to add a collar to a piece, this book is for you. If you just want a book of patterns for Sweaters A, B, and C, you might be disappointed. "Convertible Crochet" includes several sets of motifs in square, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon shapes. Each motif and shape comes in two sizes--major and minor. The motifs have been carefully designed so that they are very easy to "join as you go," and instructions are provided for how to do that. There are also instructions for how to stabilize the motifs for use at stress points and joinings.The motifs will be familiar to anyone who loves or has admired the lacy thread doilies, bedspreads, placemats, and lace trims our grandmothers created with little tiny hooks. The magic happens when you take those tiny motifs and patterns and expand them by using garment-weight yarns.For me, I needed to sit down and read the book pretty much from cover to cover. I selected a design that was compatible with my size and shape, made a gauge swatch, and set to work. I'm delighted with the results. There are garments in the book that I'll never wear, but I can see myself making up my own garments from the motifs and instructions.Loved it!
I'm new to crochet and knitting but the designs in this book are the reason I wanted to learn. I love lacy wraps, covers, and shrugs. I'm also a big girl so they're harder for me to find. I want to make my own.Most of the instructions in this book go up to my size. I can't imagine crochet getting much more complicated than what's in this book but I've been working away at it and to my delight, I'm figuring it out as I go along. I'm still working on my first project from the book, a scarf, but once you figure this out the basics, it gets easier. The scarf is made with connected blocks, the block patterns alternate and you can pick which blocks you want to use. Each block I make is better than the block before it. I think I can do anything in this book after figuring out her basic approach through these blocks.
I give the designer 10 stars for originality and for designing wearable items that are not made for Grandma, although if she was a stylish Grandma, she'd wear them. Why not 5 stars, you ask? Well it's because of the way it's put together. I understand that Ms Chan is trying to teach a technique rather than just produce patterns for us to use, so if you are ok with that, then you would probably rate this 5 stars. However, if you simply just want to use the patterns, it's confusing. The diagrams are a big help but, close up diagrams showing the actual joining points would have been awesome. To be honest, I completely ignored all the assembling instructions when I made the Callista Top because I couldn't follow the written instructions. I have some experience with join as you go motifs so I joined where it made sense for me and it turned out fine.
I love Doris Chan's crochet designs anyway, but this book of patterns really makes her design's shine.There patterns in this book are a little unusual in that they are motif driven. Once you learn all the motifs in the book you can go on to create more than the designs that are in the book. You can create your own original dresses, tops, sweaters and more. I'm currently going through each pattern in the book so I can learn all I can from the concept before I start to create my own items based off of these motifs.You can really create your own, personalized items based off the concepts offered in this book. Have fun and create!
I took me years to understand Doris way of teaching. Finally it has arrived. The ultimate teaching manual for those who want to have success working with motif joining (connection). This book is truly designed for use by "intermediate to advance" crochet crafters who already know the basic various stitchery because you will not find them broken down here like in the back of craft magazines. So, with that being said, THANK YOU DORIS, you've finally are saying what I've wanted to hear you to say over the years. If you know the basics, Doris can get you to work and make wearable art.
