By Hook empowers readers to create rather than recreate. Crochet can be three-dimensional and playful and lends itself to organic, natural shapes. To that end, this book gathers formulae that originate in the organic world – a flat circle, curly corals, freeform crochet – to provide readers with the know-how to resist prescriptive patterns and find their own forms.

By Hook: crochet with natural fibres is a book for those who have already learned to crochet but have found it stuck in the past. This informative and beautifully illustrated publication shows how it is a craft for the contemporary world.
