The Go-To Book for Irish Crochet Motifs

by Filed Under: books, patterns, today's deal

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.

Birds, Butterflies & Little Beasts to Knit & Crochet by Lesley Stanfield

by Filed Under: books, patterns, today's deal

Crochet birds, insects, butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, leaves, shells, pebbles and other objects that form the natural world. Use them to decorate your clothes and accessories, to give as gifts – or to decorate your gift wrap and greeting cards – and to collect as a creative display piece.

Every one of these cute little beasties is thoughtfully displayed in a directory at the front of the book. And each is cross-referenced to a complete pattern and – for the majority of crochet designs – a chart at the back. Information on stuffing, finishing, and other techniques are also included.

You’ll also find a mixture of fun and fabulous ideas for using the creatures in a range of styles and settings: as seasonal decorations, quirky homewares or elegant accessories.
