Turn your scrap yarn into colourful crochet projects

NAOMI VINCENT

Love yarn but don't know what to do with all your scraps? This guide will show you how to make wonderful, colourful cakes of yarn to create scrappy but beautiful crochet makes. 

This unique book explains how you can use up the small balls of yarn that are left over from project making, to make bespoke ‘scrap cakes’ – chunky balls of scrap yarn – specifically to suit a crochet pattern.

Crocheting with scrap cakes gives the finished project a multicoloured scrappy look but in a considered way, because the author explains how to create the scrap cakes to get the perfect colour contrast. She also explains how to make scrap cakes with different colour themes by sorting your scraps into tonal groups before winding them up, it's the perfect way to play with colour and make unique yarn for your crochet projects.

The front of the book features a section about how to make the scrap cakes which author, Naomi Vincent, makes on a winder. She also explains how to make them if you are winding the balls by hand in order to make sure that the yarn comes from the centre of the ball while you're working.

Naomi explains how many lengths of each colour yarn you need for each part of the pattern, how to measure it out and in what order, how to do the ‘magic knot’ technique to join the yarns and the order they need to be wound in.

In addition to the instructions about making the scrap cakes there are 15 crochet projects for colorful scrappy makes including a shawl, scarf, bag, hat, cardigan and different sized blankets and throws. The projects use lots of interesting crochet stitches and techniques - there's a granny square blanket, a corner to corner throw and some fun stitches like the mini bean stitch and the cluster stitch, and there are instructions for all of these at the back of the book for reference.

This has everything you need to bust your stash of 'yarnlings' and make some amazing crochet projects along the way!

15 patterns for optical illusion crochet blankets, afghans and throws

HELEN SMITH

A collection of eye-catching 3D effect crochet patterns for different sized blankets and throws, that all have an optical illusion effect. These cleverly designed geometric blankets look impressive but are actually simple to make because the designer only uses one technique, intarsia crochet, and simple stitches.

There are 15 different designs in a variety of sizes from smaller throws through to large afghans. All of the crochet blanket patterns are written out in full and there are large charts for each of the designs for crocheters who prefer to follow charts.

All of the blankets are made with Scheepjes Truly Scrumptious aran-weight yarn, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. This means that the blankets work up quickly and have a lovely drape as well as being visually striking.

All of the patterns use the crochet intarsia technique and there instructions for how to prepare your yarn in separate balls before you get started so you don’t end up in a tangle. There are also step-by-step instructions for how to work crochet intarsia including advice on changing colour.

Please note that the patterns are written using US crochet terms, but there is a conversion table for UK terms, along with US/UK hook sizes, at the front of the book.

The blanket projects include a variety of sizes, with the largest measuring 51 x 36 inches. There are instructions for how to increase the size of the blankets by adding a border as well as decorative details including tassels and pom poms. There are also instructions for how to alter the drape of the blankets by changing the hook size you use.

The ‘Getting Started’ section explains the concept behind the illusion blanket designs and the importance of colour, with advice on choosing alternative colours. This is illustrated with photos of swatches showing variations of the same design with alternative colour combinations.

The front section includes information about what the best yarns and hooks to use are as well as the other tools and materials featured. The General Techniques includes step-by-step instructions and diagrams for the basic stitches as well as the finishing techniques that will ensure your blankets look their best.

Don't be afraid to mix colors and cables!

The often-repeated advice that it is best to choose solid-color yarns when you crochet cables is not always true. With a little bit of knowledge and planning, you can crochet beautiful Celtic cables and enhance the design with your choice of a multicolored yarn.

Author Noelle R. B. Stiles is a vision scientist and has done extensive research into the art and science of color play (so that you don't have to!). What she brings to this book is the practical side of color usage. She gives you a broad look at how colors and designs work together and illustrates how color choices affect the final outcome of your crochet pieces. She specifically sets out to prove that multicolored yarns should not be sidelined in your textured crochet pieces and can be used to great advantage. With practical examples and 20 patterns, she shows how crochet designs can feature both a multicolored yarn and an intricate cable to gorgeous effect. Patterns include eye-catching scarves, hats, mitts, blanket, cardigan, and more. If you are new to cabling, there are step-by-step instructions and several beginner patterns. Pull out your favorite hand-painted or variegated yarn and give it a try!

Adorn your mantle with handmade crocheted stockings!

Whether you are looking for a stocking reminiscent of Christmases past or love a fresh twist on tradition such as the Santa hat or mitten "stocking," you'll find just what you need in this collection. Styles include colorful textured patterns, granny squares, stripes, bobbles, cables, and more; some with tassels and ties and all with a loop for hanging. Change up the colors to go with any holiday color scheme.

All patterns are achievable by a beginner to intermediate crocheter, and small projects like this are the perfect place to learn and practice new skills. Your unique stocking may also give Santa a clue as to what he should put in your stocking—more yarn!

Unleash your little ones’ imagination with these fabulous costume pieces that are quick and simple to make and customize.

When Emma Friedlander-Collins was a new convert to crochet and a mother of two small superheroes, she was frustrated by the lack of patterns available for children’s costumes, so she decided to start designing her own. This collection is the result, featuring 35+ garments and accessories that make up 15 different costumes. All the dressing-up favorites are here, from pirates, mermaids, superheroes, and Vikings to fairytale characters such as Rapunzel and Red Riding Hood. There are even some furry friends—just look at the cute cat and floppy-eared bunny outfits!
