Karen Whooley is a friend of mine, and I'm so excited to get to share her new book, Coastal Crochet, with all of you! Karen is an award-winning designer, who is known for creating intricate-looking projects that are surprisingly simple. You can follow her on Instagram, Facebook, and join her Ravelry Group!

Here's a little background from Karen on what inspired her:

“I grew up in Northern California – just east of San Francisco. Visiting the ocean – even if it was just going over the Bay Bridge into the city –  was a way of life.” says Whooley. “Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, even though my house has gorgeous views of the Cascade mountains, the Puget Sound is only a short 20-minute drive to the Mukilteo beach and lighthouse. I can get that fix whenever I need it. I love the Pacific Coastline – its rugged rocky shores are wild and untamed yet some of the most soothing places on earth.  Then there are the sandy beaches of central to southern California to laze your days away. It’s home.”

Coastal Crochet is filled with 12 projects that use lace and fingering weight yarns, so they are perfect for ocean breezes - or wherever you are! The sized garments all go up to at least 2X, if not 3X.

Each pattern includes charts, a special stitches section, and the usual written instructions, as well as lovely photos - perfect for any crocheter who has mastered the basic stitches.

The book also contains hints and information on how to adjust the patterns to work with heavier yarns and to customize a design to your personal taste.

My personal favorite from Coastal Crochet has to be Coastline - "a beautiful swoncho-style sweater. A perfect layering piece worked from the top down, this one-size-fits-most garment flatters everyone who tries it. A simple construction, hidden round joining and no seams makes Coastline one of our favorites to make over and over again."

You can purchase your own copy of Coastal Crochet here, or by going to Amazon.com! And without further ado... let's give away a digital copy of Coastal Crochet to one very lucky winner - and because it's digital, it can be open worldwide!
