Long description

Plus-size girls are a group that seems to be neglected in the plethora of crochet books on the market. The author, Margaret Hubert, has often been approached at trade shows and through her classes by women in this size category, begging her to design patterns that would fit them. A plus-size crocheter cannot simply take a smaller pattern and increase the number of stitches or rows to get a garment that fits and flatters. There are lots of proportion considerations when designing patterns for larger sizes. Plus Size Crochet has 20 crocheted garments and accessories for plus-size women. The projects are stylish and flattering for various large figure types. There are also hints and tips to help the crocheter accommodate her special needs.

Hubert, Margaret. Plus Size Crochet: Fashions That Fit & Flatter. Creative Pub: Quayside. 2007. c.128p. illus. ISBN 978-1-58923-339-3. pap. $19.95.

FIBER CRAFTS Plus-size pattern designers fit roughly into two camps: the flaunt-your-curves designers and the disguise-those-figure-flaws-and-look-slimmera designers. In this bookaone of the few titles available on crocheting for the plus-size figureaHubert, a longtime crochet teacher and author, places herself squarely into the second camp. The book contains 20 figure-flattering designs for cardigans, jackets, and accessories for sizes 1X to 4X, all with complete step-by-step instructions and clear photos of each project, plus close-up photos of garment details and the yarn used in the designs. Enthusiastically recommended for public libraries.

  Plus Size Crochet by Margaret Hubert
Reviewed by Alma from Pretoria, South Africa on 02 May 2013

I love the patterns in this beautifully presented spiral-bound book. It is easy to keep the book flat and see exactly where you are in the pattern. The garments are lovely and fashionable. I highly recommend this book to all crochet lovers who need patterns that fit the larger woman.
