Dopamine Crochet Décor

Hook into the MOOD-BOOSTING power of COLOUR with these FABULOUS CROCHET PATTERNS. 35 projects for every level, from BEGINNERS to EXPERIENCED CROCHETERS. Crochet designer Chloé Elizabeth Birch has created a collection of patterns for the home that will spark joy! Viewing vivid colours can produce small hits of dopamine, the ‘feel-good hormone’ which encourages happiness and motivation. Repetitive, pleasurable activities, such as crochet, can also trigger the hormone. In chapter 1, Homeware Boosts , you’ll find items large and small, including the Snazzy Squares Rug, Carnival Lampshade and Check-me-out Bunting, with granny square flowers and gingham flags. Chapter 2, Get Cosy , offers vibrant blankets and cushions that offer comfort and style, from a Rainbow Throw to a Sunburst Cushion. Finally, chapter 3, Handy Helpers , shows how to crochet practical items for the home – try the Pick Me Placemats, Totally Awesome Tote Bag and Striped Storage Baskets. All of the techniques and stitches you will need are explained with easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step artworks.
