GIveaway#4

…my new two babies—crochet pattern books Imagical Seasons: Crochet Couture for Kids 2-12:

  1. Spring, volume 01 (Hugs of Love and Tutti Frutti Blankets are a part of Spring Book, so you can get a book spirit by download the pattern ;o))
  2. Summer, volume 02.

A Winner will receive the books in both, paperback and PDF format!

 “Imagical Seasons” is a series of 4 books and 38 whimsical designs that were inspired by nature and the changing seasons. Each volume, be that Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, will show you how a little imagination can:

  • Transform simple ruffle pattern into a nearly endless variety of pretty designs (in Spring book).
  • Stitch anything from a blanket to a halter dress using the same square motif with varying yarn weights (in Summer book).
  • Adapt and personalize lace-pattern-based designs to  hook your own masterpieces (in Fall book).
  • Create trendy and cozy garments and accessories for those cold winter days, or a delicate coat for holidays and special occasions—based on patterns that apply variations of a simple puff stitch (in Winter book).

“Imagical Seasons” comes with lots of stunning full-page full-color photographs, very detailed written instructions that are easy to follow, and unique stitch diagrams that speak the international language of crochet.

All projects in these books are designed to spark your own creativity and will help you create charming hand-made treasures that will grow with your Princess and excite your creative spirit and imagination.

And here is the best part—garments come in sizes 2 to 12 years, and there are even a couple of themes for grown-ups!

Have fun with the projects and make them your own, because every little girl is special and deserving of gifts made with love!

    My favorite stitch currently is fpdc and bpdc (you can’t have one without the other). I recently made two Interweave cable slouch stitch hats by Meladoras Creations. Challenging to begin, but quickly learned. Thanks again for your kindness and generosity.

    Just discovered the giveaway today. Sad to have missed the previous opportunities. I’m most fond of double crochet stitch combinations – supplemented by picots, fan shapes and reverse sc for trim and finishing. Crochet works up so much faster than knitting.

    Crystal Andrews says:

    My favorite crochet stitches I guess are double crochets because I use them so much. I like the pattern that hdc in the third loop makes. Thanks for having these giveaways. It’s so generous!

    Loraine says:

    I never thought about my favorite crochet stitch, but now I’d have to say it’s the picot stitch. Love how it edges doilies and how it gives a lacey look to any project. Well worth the extra time that it takes to make. The Solomon’s knot is another favourite for the same lacy look that it gives.

  21. 21
    E says:

    My favorite stitch is hdc, by crocheting into the third stitch, the fabric turns and takes on a knitted appearance.

  22. 22
    Wendy says:

    I just simply love Crochet!!! I do however like crab stitch, and picot as it just finishes things off.

  26. 26
    Margo says:

    Extended stitches are my new favorite stitches. Extended sc was the first I worked with, then onto extended hdc. They give a beautiful look wen working in the round. A very close second are foundation stitches – I have been doing fsc for a long time, but recently added the hdc and dc versions.

    You put out a pattern for five or six different hats in bright colors with flowers and beads on them.They’re absolutely adorable but I can’t find out where to purchase the patterns for them. Your crocheting is so neat and clean that it is really refreshing to see what you are so passionate about.Respectfully Linda

    Your patterns are so beautiful. I am eager to make this baby blanket. I am glad I found you. I look forward to see more. I do love the shell stitch. But have been working on a scarf for my daughter for Christmas with half double crochets and it is turning out nicely.
