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.
