Crochet in a Weekend: 29 Quick-to-stitch Sweaters, Tops, Shawls & More

If you shy away from crocheting sweaters, cardigans, ponchos, or tops because you think they’re complicated and take too much time to make, this book was designed just for you.

Crochet in a Weekend offers 29 wrap, cowl, cardigan, poncho, tunic, sweater, and top patterns for every season of the year! Each design is made with a yarn that’s easy to find (or substitute), stitches that create gorgeous fabrics (that are easy to memorize), and separate pieces that are portable and easy to seam together!

You can start with simple designs like the Roving Stole or Date Night Poncho if you’re looking for styles made with dazzling yarns! The Coboo Top and ZZ Twist Tee are worked with open stitches, creating oversized fits that are very complementary to wear. When looking for cozy, plush styles, the Charisma Poncho, Color Made Easy Cardigan, and Weekend Blanket Wrap are classic pieces that you’ll love to wear!

Whether you’re looking for a quick project, like the Picnic Vest or Warlock Wrap, or want to learn a new stitch or technique with the Mauve Cardigan or Speckle Sweater, your weekend crochet projects really can be gorgeous designs that you’ll enjoy making!

The Go-To Book for Irish Crochet Motifs by Kathryn White

Anyone who has ever tried to make an Irish crochet motif using Vintage pattern books most likely ended up confused, frustrated, and a bit bewildered. Those patterns are at best a bit vague, written in unclear, imprecise wording that makes them hard for the average crocheter to interpret. The Go-To Book for Irish Crochet Motifs takes these lovely motifs and writes them in such a manner that they make sense to the modern-day crocheter. Thus, these stunning motifs are forever preserved, to be used now and in the future. The ten chapters include Stitches & Techniques, Flowers, Leaves, Fill-in Motifs, Edgings and Insertions, Dangles, Overlays, Fill-in Lace, Assembly, and Squares or Motifs.
