I just received the April edition of Crochet World. There are a few patterns of interest. The pattern of the month is "Critter PJ Bags," which are cute, worked with double crochet and rounds. I like the pig, the lion, the bear and the turtle (of course). The duck is just scary.
Other patterns are:
- "Parfait Cinch Belt," a short project worked in single crochet. Buttons are used, as is bulky yarn - probably why the pattern takes so little time.
- "Chocolate Cream," is a set of a top and tulip skirt, worked in single crochet and rounds. The pattern itself is complicated, thouogh the stiches are not, and the finished product is lovely. I would personally wear it - though maybe in different colors.
- "Bunny Seedlings," are another cute overdose. Right in time for Easter, you can "grow" baby bunnies out of a crocheted pot. The pattern is worked in single crochet and rounds, but you'll need to have stuffing, etc, to complete the bunnies.
- "Collared Poncho," I still love ponchos, though I can't wear them. This poncho comes with a hood attached, and it's very cute. The pattern is worked in single, double and slip stitches. You'll need to keep track of this pattern well, because it adds texture to the final product.
- "Dogwood Delight," one of those spring afghans. The pattern is very, very complicated, but I'm partial to dogwoods. It's worked in single, double, half-double crochet and rounds. The final product is an afghan with dogwood blossoms in the center of the squares.
- "Flowery Watchband," a watchband, as the title states, that is relatively easy to make. The pattern is worked in single crochet.
- "Flower Boxes Afghan," another afghan, slightly less complicated than the dogwood afghan. Granny squares are used, as are single, doduble crochet and slip stitch.
