LEARN TO DO IRISH CROCHET ($7.95) by Nan Mensinga.
|
The first half
of this leaflet is really a basic crochet tutorial, and I'm not really sure
why it was included in such detail since it's the type of information found
in any "how to" crochet book. The patterns included are quite lovely,
although they are quite modernized versions of Irish crochet. They
include: Precious Pillow (7" square), Bonnet and Dainty Booties for Baby,
Sweet Rose Evening Shawl or Baby Blanket, and Doily for Dreamers with the
traditional Irish crochet roses and leaves. Projects use size 10 and size
20 crochet cotton and baby fingering weight yarn. |

THE ULTIMATE BOOK OF CROCHET FOR BABY ($15.95) by Darla
Sims.

17 patterns for baby things, some with a decided continental flair!
Check & Stripes jacket & hat (12, 18, 24 mos.), Cable Cuddles jacket &
cute hat (6, 12 mos.), Crisscross Cutie crossover sweater & bonnet (6, 12,
18 mos.), Pink Precious hooded sweater (3, 6, 12, 18, 24 mos.), Peek-a-Boo
blanket, Baby Blocks blanket, Honey Bear Hooded Bunting (3, 6, 9 mos.),
Snowsuit Sweetie with hat (6, 18 mos.), Blooming Hooded Bunting (3, 6, 9
mos.), Preemie Layette pullover sweater, hat, and booties and tie front
long gown to match (preemie, small, medium), and Footsies Afghan (color
changes in sc, with bubble and berry stitch toes, look like birth
certificate feet!). All made with baby sport weight yarn; each pattern
gives exact yarn used. |

THE ULTIMATE BOOK OF KNIT AFGHANS ($12.95) by various designers.
|
19 beautiful knit afghans; 10 of them are knit in one color, letting the
stitch patterns stand out, and the rest are worked with color changes,
etc., to create the patterns. Made with worsted and bulky weight yarns. |

COTTON SEPARATES ($8.95) by Joyce Nordstrom |
Six fashionable
sweaters and 1 skirt, all made with size 3 Speed-Cro-Sheen. Most are
unfortunately sized for only small and medium, but using a sport weight
cotton might change the sizing enough to create a "large" or even an "extra
large". Cabled Cardigan (sm, md), Versatile Skirt (straight, sm, md, lg)
with waistband and zipper, Lovely Lacy Jacket (sm, md), Waves of Blue
button front with 3/4 sleeves(sm, md, lg), Patchwork Jacket with short
sleeves (sm, md), Ruby Tee pullover with short sleeve(sm, md, lg, xlg), and
Sunny Shell (sm, md). Ruby Tee would, I think, make an excellent beginning
clothing project because of the size range, the stitch interest, and only 2
pieces (the short sleeves are worked into the front and back pieces). |

FUN*TASTIC CROCHET SWEATERS ($12.95) by Ginny Alvord-Clark |

neckline of chained strips.Spiral Sophisticate (30"-40" chest) has short
sleeves with a spiral pattern worked into the front. World Traveler is a
tank top (30"-36" chest) with city names worked into the
front. Sentimental Hearts (30"-40" chest) is a long-sleeved cardigan
(30"-40" chest) with heart patterns worked into the front (this pattern is
charted!). Braided Brights (30"-44" chest) is short-sleeved with braided
chains accenting the neckline, hem, and sleeve seams. All patterns use

CROCHET FILET AFGHANS ($5.95)
Sorry, out of print and no stock left. |
Four of the five designs are by Hartmut
Hass, and the 5th is an adaptation by Carol Wilson Mansfield from an older
ASN design. Lovely, lacy designs for showy afghans - not much good for
warmth, but just right as an accent piece for an old-fashioned room. And
any of these designs would make a great piece for a table, if done in
bedspread weight cotton! Mr. Hass' designs are done in sport weight yarn
(Lustersheen, which has the look and feel of cotton thread, but the
washability of acrylic) and the 5th is in worsted weight yarn. |

appliqued flower or fruit crocheted pieces. Patterns are: Sweet
Violets, An Apple a Day, Rose Trellis, Tulip Trios, and Tropical
