Crochet Journey: A Global Crochet Adventure from the Guy with the Hook by Mark Roseboom

We all love a good granny square, but sometimes don’t you want to crochet something a bit different? Enhance your home and your person with these elegant, clever, grown-up crochet designs by talented designer Mark Roseboom – aka The Guy with the Hook.

Mark brings together his passions of crocheting and travelling, by creating 12 unique and exquisite patterns, each inspired by a cherished memory from his extensive travel over the last 10 years. His goal was to visit some of the most interesting places in the world and soak in all the culture, lessons, experiences, and feelings they delivered, and he shares his experiences in his clever designs. 

In Crochet Journey, there are 12 patterns that are based on the remarkable journeys Mark has made.  Each chapter features one design, beautifully presented with stunning photography and accompanied by Mark’s fascinating travel stories. The patterns feature full written instructions in US crochet terms, charts, and Mark’s tips for success.

Projects include the Rivendell Shawl from New Zealand, the Santa Maria Maggiore Rug from Italy, the Kamakura Pin Cushion from Japan, the Nazar Mandala from Turkey, the Fading Light Scarf from Greenland, the Rituals Pouf from India, the Rainbow Subway Blanket from New York, and many more. All up the book includes 3 shawls/scarves, 2 blankets, 2 circular wall hangings, 1 rug, 1 table runner, 1 cushion, 1 pouf and 1 pin cushion.
