Secret Stitches A Crochet Companion, Book 2

Envision the history of crochet through design and fiction! This is the second book of accessory designs inspired by The Donahue Histories series from historical fiber fiction author C. Jane Reid. Each design is named for a character from books two through five of the series, with excerpts from the novels to give a glimpse of how each accessory fits into the story. Patterns in this book feature:

•Shawls, Scarves, Cowls, Hats, Mitts, a Bag, and even a Shrug
•All crocheted with Hand-dyed Yarns and Luxury Fibers, or choose your own yarn
•Clearly Written Instructions and Stitch Diagrams
•A Variety of Techniques including lace, ribbing, and felting

You will enjoy crocheting many of these projects, even if you have not read the novels, but even more so if you are familiar with C. Jane Reid’s stories exploring the evolution of crochet with a modern twist.

Secret Stitches A Crochet Companion Book 2

Crochet the Center-to-Corner Way! by Margret Willson

Using many of the same techniques that make Corner-to-Corner (C2C) crochet so popular, Center-to-Corner crochet begins each piece at the center and works to the outside edge. 7 great designs are included. Market Bag is made with simple chain spaces within the basic Center-to-Corner stitch to create an openwork bag. Cables and puff stitch bobbles add texture to half double crochet fabric in Cable Corners Afghan. You can also find a delicate doily with a floral center and corners with diamonds set in lace, along with a triangle shawl worked from center back neck to lower edge with openwork—the stitch creates its own sawtooth edge. And there’s more!

Down on the farm you will find a whole bunch of mischievous animals, like Ned the Goat, who thinks he’s a chicken, and Pickle the Puppy, who is training to be in the Olympics. Say hello to Camilla the Pretty Pony and she may even take you out for a ride through the fields. If you’re looking for some more exotic animals there are plenty here too, like Squiddly Dudley, the octopus who decided to join the Navy, or catch the Fish Brothers before they head off on their world tour. There are even some special toys for Christmas, including Sparkles the crooning Snowman and Ralph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Round Crochet Placemats – Trendy and Beautiful

A round placemat with two or even three plates and bowl in graded sizes is trendy and dresses up your table. Crochet such a placemat yourself. It’s very individual, unique. In this book I offer more than 15 very different models with instructions for round placemats and suggestions on how to combine others yourself. The models are crocheted in three yarn sizes with approx. 61 inches (155m) / 50g, approx. 29.50 inches (75m) / 50g and approx. 15.75 inches (40m) / 50g. Some are more finely worked, others are more rustic, but crocheted fast. I hope there is something for everyone. As precondition you should know and be able to crochet the basic stitches such as single crochet and double crochet and if possible have already crocheted in rounds. Round crocheted placemats do not have many yet, so you can still score points!
