Summary

Crocheters love home accessories--the category is the second largest on Ravelry. Oddly enough, however, the majority of books currently available for crocheters focus on garments, baby projects, and amigurumi or novelty projects. The home décor books that do exist are primarily afghans--hugely popular, but also large and both time and yarn-consuming. Crochet At Homewill offer crocheters a collection of practical, pretty projects in a range of sizes and styles to appeal to beginner and more advanced crocheters alike. Projects will be for the kitchen, living room, and bedroom. Home accessories and gift ideas will also be covered--nesting containers or baskets, crocheted Russian nesting dolls, and bunting of delicate crocheted snowflakes for the holidays. Created by a range of designers with unique styles, the patterns run from beginner friendly to intermediate level. The overall vibe will be more modern than fussy--items one might see in Design*Sponge or Apartment Therapy. Some will have a retro or kitschy feel, but the overall focus will be on useful and attractive projects. Styling should reflect this cheerful, colorful, and occasionally humorous take on home décor. Yarn selection leans toward affordable yarns and big-box yarns, especially for projects that use a lot of yarn or that take a beating (like kitchen accessories).
