Weaving Crochet Book – Akiko Hinata

Weaving Crochet by Akiko Hinata introduces an innovative crochet technique that combines the familiar structure of crochet with the beautiful appearance and texture of woven fabric.

Using basic crochet stitches such as single crochet and half double crochet, the technique creates striking fabrics with dimensional textures, openwork effects, and interesting colour combinations. By bringing together the ideas of both crocheting and weaving, even relatively simple stitches can be transformed into distinctive and eye-catching designs.

The book features a varied collection of 22 projects, with a particular focus on bags and accessories. Designs include shoulder bags, pouches, totes, drawstring bags, a bamboo-handle bag, baskets, a bottle bag, jewellery, hair accessories, and other small projects. Different yarns and materials are used throughout the collection, making the technique suitable for creative projects throughout the year.

Lesson pages introduce the weaving crochet technique step by step, making the book suitable for crocheters who would like to explore something new while working primarily with familiar basic stitches. The book also provides access to supplementary video instructions.
