Known for her signature use of color, crochet designer Kathy Merrick shares her secrets to designing with color in unique and unexpected ways in Crochet in Color. Merrick offers 20 patterns that explore a variety of ways to play with color and build color confidence for all crocheters. With a long list of projects encompassing wearables to various home décor projects, all of Merrick’s designs in Crochet in Color are made with fine yarns and big hooks to achieve a crochet fabric that is fluid and never stiff.

Plus, there are various tips and tricks, such as a proportion guide to working color bands and easy ways to finish your work.
