The aim of Textured Lace is to bring together a collection of interesting crochet lace patterns & uncommon stitches that can be worked into your crochet repertoire & increase your knowledge, confidence & pleasure. Working your way through all 64 patterns will bring you a great feeling of satisfaction as you finish up with a beautiful & functional rug (afghan) or throw; you can choose a selection of patterns to create a smaller rug for a special purpose, or work just one pattern & repeat it to create a scarf or wrap in your favourite yarn.

Each pattern is in written & diagram (chart) form, with both UK & US terminology & has a clear colour photo

“The 64 patterns will inspire crochet workers, both beginners & advanced,who are familar with Renate’s earlier books, Crochet Techniques & Bring Colour to Crochet. Freeformers will discover some novel stitches & enjoy incorporating many of these patterns into their work, whether using this book on its own or in conjunction with ideas inspired by Renate’s Freeform Crochet & Beyond.”
