Crochet!®

A Note From the Editor

Classic Plaid Ruana • Plaid is the trend that comes back year after year. This year, skip stranded colorwork and try woven surface crochet instead. Create an eye-catching marled look and work in double time by holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn at once. Vertical stripes of woven surface crochet complement basic rows of horizontal stripes, making this an easy project that looks much more sophisticated. Bonus: This easy accessory is worked in one piece and requires no seaming.

CONSTRUCTION ZONE: Woven Lattice Scarf

Woven Lattice Scarf • Show off with this woven-front scarf. Constructed in 2 panels but with no seams, it works up quickly.

Coffeehouse Cowl • A cowl that is quick to crochet with all the drape needed to make an outfit pop! Choose some wood buttons for added appeal.

Pheasant’s Tail Headband • This warm, colorful and rich in texture headband can be done in one afternoon and would make a lovely holiday gift.

Embossed Vines Cardigan • When it comes to this amazing cardigan, the only question is: What color will you choose to stitch your sweater? The embossed vine border looks harder than it is and is made using simple front and back post stitches.

Textured Pouf • Add a functional accent to your home. Crocheted in super chunky-weight yarn, post stitches worked in the round give this pouf its dramatic texture.

Perfectly Modern Throw • The classic texture of this cozy throw will add a stylish finish to any room. The delightful pompoms add a touch of whimsy and are perfectly on trend for the season.

Hourglass Pillow • This pillow has super-easy cables that are formed by simply inserting chain loops through each other to form a braid–even a beginner can do it!

Dazzling Diamonds Set • Compliments are sure to be yours when you wear this set created using the Bestwey Technique. It’s versatile enough to wear for any occasion and perfect to make as a gift for any hat lover in your life.

Maggie’s Magic Mittens • Because of the construction of these mittens, the thumb is magically worked into the front of the mitten. Each mitten is made in two pieces and whipstitched together from the right side. They can be worn long, or with the cuff turned down. These mittens work up quickly, use only one skein of yarn and are great for gifts.
