Create over 20 Bohemian patterns with Susan Kennedy, the author of Crochet Southwest Spirit.  Peaceful color palettes drawn from the mountains, mesas, valleys, deserts, rivers, and rock formations of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona bring a relaxed vibe to these beginner and intermediate patterns.

She loves to make boho home décor inspired by the nature around her that is as practical and durable as it is beautiful. You’ll find blankets, pillows, rugs, baskets, towels, wall hangings, wraps, and tote bags in this collection.
