I’m Maria Valles, a crochet designer-maker and the head and hands behind Rove Handmade.
I am excited to share with you Rove Handmade Volume 1: Grannies, a collection of four easy crochet patterns for simple and stylish shrugs and cardigans. Inspired by crochet’s most famous motif, the granny square, these patterns also showcase beautiful Icelandic wool yarns in earthy undyed shades.
Each design employs inventive construction based on simple granny squares or hexagons, with no special shaping and minimal seaming, making these ideal projects for those crocheting their very first garment. Patterns include detailed instructions for five sizes, as well as schematics and notes on customizing your piece. You’ll also find tips on working with Icelandic wool and notes on yarn substitutions.
Note that all patterns in this booklet use US terminology.
