Animal Fiber
Crystal Lace Bolero
Author
by Robyn Chachula
Introduction
For me, inspiration comes from literally everything I touch. This bolero is all emotions. See, my best friend recently moved to Phoenix and since I live in the east coast, I definitely had mixed emotions. On one hand I was jumping for joy, because it was their dream move, and really, a perfect city for them. But on the other hand, what on earth can you crochet for your biggest supporter when she moves to the hottest city in the US? So Crystal’s lace was born. It all started with the notion of hot weather crocheting. You want something that is small and very portable… Hmm, obviously it must be a granny square. Now for fiber, yes cotton is great, but where’s the elastic in it? And Phoenix does have cool nights… Ah, a light wool/nylon blend. And presto!, the bolero was born. So watch out, you never know when your emotions are going to challenge you to crochet!
Ed. note: Robyn has written a blog post to address common questions about the bolero.
Materials List
- Softwist by Berroco, #9467 Amethyst, (41% wool, 59% nylon), 100 yds (91m): 5 (7, 9) hanks
- 5.50mm (US size I/9) hook
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Yarn for this project was generously supplied (and wound beautifully) by Dream Weaver Yarns.
Finished Size
Small, (Medium, Large)
To fit bust sizes 28”-32”, (33”-36”, 38”-44”) and upper arm circumference 9” (12”, 15”).

Special Stitches:
Cluster (CL): Yo, *insert hook into ring, yo, draw up loop, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook,* repeat from * to * twice more, yo, draw through remaining 4 loops on hook.
Notes
- Please watch size as you join granny squares. Softwist is very elastic and will stretch, so if you plan on using a different yarn, check fit often. Fit is intended to be relaxed.
- Keep in mind that you can easily alter the garment by changing the layout of the granny squares. For example, if you would prefer cap sleeves, leave off the grannies at the arm. Or if you want a shrug; leave off the grannies at the front panels. The options are yours, enjoy exploring.

Shrug Off Winter
Author
by Megan Granholm
Introduction
Early spring in Oregon is a fickle thing. Some days it’s nice out, some days it rains, most days it does both. And of course, as soon as I see a 55- or 60-degree day, I’m unpacking my summery clothes, even if it’s still March. This seasonal wardrobe change requires a safety net for the first few weeks, though, in the form of a shrug. Shrug Off Winter is just the thing – a bit lacy so it can be worn with jeans or with a skirt, but not so lacy that you’ll freeze in your summery top. Crochet it in a springy color and you can wear it all day; crochet a darker one and it can take you all the way through the cooler nights in summer and into early fall.

Pike Place Market Bag
Author
by Julie Holetz
Introduction
This bag was designed with two people in mind. My sister, who is about to add two boys to the family, and my mother, the eternal farmers market shopper. I loved the idea of the side pocket for a small water bottle or baby bottle. The wide body is a necessity for crusty French baguettes, flowers, market veggies, and diapers.
Materials List
900 yds pure wool for the body and sides, 220 yds for the assembly and straps, and some scrap wool for the contrast stitching if desired. (Anne Frost's bag, pictured in gray, used Reynolds Lite Lopi - 6 skeins for the body, 3 skeins contrast color for the sides and straps, and 1 skein of another contrast color for stitching)
Red/orange sample used:
- Patons Classic Wool (100% Pure Virgin Wool/100 g/3.5 oz/223 yds worsted weight) MC: 4 skeins Paprika
- Cascade 220 (100% Wool/100 g/3.5 oz/220 yds worsted weight): CC 1 skein 9404 red
- 1-2 ozs wool in shades of theme color for stitching
- size I (5.5mm) hook
- optional size J (6mm) hook for foundation chain on strap, see note
- Thick yarn needle for weaving ends, attaching straps, and embellishments.
Finished Size
Before felting = 24”w x 15”l
After felting = 16”w x 11”l
Gauge
5”x5” = 15 sts x 12 rows
Notes
- After making the bag I realized my sister would need two pockets for the twins' bottles. You should have enough yarn to make both sides with pockets. To be sure, simply make up the sides first, following pocket side directions, then make up the body of the bag.
When making up the straps, it’s a good idea to use a “J” hook to make the foundation chain then switch to the smaller hook for the remaining rows. During the felting process, the foundation chain will typically end up tighter than the last row.- Finally, the pattern was designed with the sides of the bag 1” below the top of the main body. If you want the sides to be even with the top, simply make the sides 15” and 24” and attach them level to the top of the bag. Felting is more art than science, so some degree of variance in measurements can be expected.

Felted Rose Trio
Author
by Linda Stoll of Oslofia Stitching Away
Introduction
After a nice, relaxing summer and autumn, we are now heading towards winter. But winter garments and accessories do not need to come in boring and dull dark colours.
So with that in mind, I came up with the design for the Rose set, which includes a handbag, a headband and a matching rose to pin on your jacket. It all comes down to the accessories, right?
And since I’m also such a pink person, I couldn’t think of a better colour than pink for the set. This way you will certainly be seen.
The items in the Rose set are all felted, which makes the headband nice and warm, and it also gives the handbag sturdiness so it does not need to be lined.
The set is crocheted with bulky weight wool, so the items are fast projects to make.
Materials List
- Cortina - Bulky weight wool (50g/55m or 1.8 oz/55yds): 4 skeins (3 skeins for the handbag & 1 skein for the headband)
- Size 7.0mm (K) hook
- Yarn needle
Finished Size
Before felting:
Handbag: 31.5 x 28 cm (12.4 x 11 in)
Headband: 10 x 50 cm ( 4 x 1.7 in) without tassels; tassel 32 cm (12.6 in).
After felting:
Handbag: 24.5 x 26 cm (9.6 x 10.2 in)
Headband: 8 x 47 cm (3.1 x 18.5 in); tassels 24 cm (9.5 ins)
Rose: 8 cm across (3.1 in)
Gauge
Before felting: 10 dc x 6 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)
After felting: 13 dc x 6.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)
Notes
- T
he yarn needs to be 100% wool in order for the felting process to succeed. - The items can be stretched and formed into correct shaping and sizes when wet.

Half-Hearted Pouch
Author
by Julie Holetz
Introduction
Being a bag-obsessed girl, I’ve always wanted to try crocheting a bag with hemp yarn. It’s not only a durable fiber but it comes in way cute colors. On a recent trip to a not-so-local yarn store I found some hemp yarn that was half hemp and half wool. It looked perfect for playing with. I tried to conceive of a brilliant design on which I could test the yarn, but I had nothing.
One day, the zipper on my wallet broke. I needed a replacement quick. With Valentine’s Day looming ahead I worked up a heart design and grabbed the hemp. You could say that for all my grand intentions the conception of this pouch was a little half-hearted.
Materials List
Hemp Yarn, (55% Hemp, 45% Wool, 200 yds/skein) 1 skein Black, 1 skein Red- Size F/3.75 mm hook
- Small yarn needle
- Zipper
Finished Size
5" wide x 3.5" high
Gauge
3.5 stitches and 4 rows = 1 inch
Notes
When changing colors, always change the yarn when there are still two loops of the last single crochet stitch on the hook. Finish the last yarn over with the new color.
Always pick up the new color and drop the old color on the wrong side of the fabric.
Use one turning chain at the end of each row. The turning chain does not count as a stitch.

Jolly Rancher
Author
by Even Howard
Introduction
I’m so happy to be in Montana where little sheep are running free and being chased by wolves. No, really! Except instead of wolves it is more like coyotes or mountain lions. The yarn I’ve used for this skirt is certified ‘predator friendly’ meaning that the farm is run with respect for all living things, not just the cute ones. You can read more about it at www.lambandwool.com. It’s certified organic too! I hope you’ll try ordering from them or poke around for a local homespun in your neck of the woods.
I’ve had a bit of culture (and temperature) shock since leaving Japan and I was bemoaning the nippy winds that prevent me from wearing my summer skirt collection during winter. Cozy yarn to the rescue! This overskirt is like putting on a sweater, just lower down. Of a rather chunky weight, it is quick to work up on big hooks and just a little bit delicate with a Kid Silk Haze trim and a nice bell shape. You can wear it over skirts or pants, depending on how weird you want to look. Either way, you’ll be warm. Plus the rhythm of crochet might help you realize where you are and that it is okay (at least it does for me).
Materials List
Thirteen Mile Yarn (A) 2 skeins at ~110yds/skein. The color is a natural chocolate brown that comes straight off the sheep. This is a ‘chunky’ weight yarn usually used with size 11 knitting needles.- 1 ball of Rowan’s Kid Silk Haze (B) in Villian (25g per 229yds). You could substitute another lightweight yarn easily, in either a tonal or contrast color. The gauge isn’t crucial for the trim.
- Hook sizes F/5 (4mm), and L/11 (8mm), M (9mm), N (10mm), and P (11.5mm)
- ¾”- to 2”-wide ribbon or other belting material, long enough to go around your low waist and tie in a friendly bow. The picture shows a 3/4"-wide knit belt that is 56" long.
Finished Size
Pattern as written has a 36-inch dropped waist that stretches to 42 inches and can be tightened to 32 inches without looking odd. You can add or remove a pattern repeat to change size 3 inches at a time (details included in pattern).
Gauge
10 stitches = 4in, 10cm; 10 rows = 4in, 10cm in single crochet with yarn A and 8mm hook.
Notes
- The turning chain does not count as a stitch unless indicated.
- Be sure to read the pattern all the way through before beginning.

Love Scarf
Author
by Annette Petavy
Introduction
It’s so easy to take the ones we love for granted. This autumn, my husband came home from the doctor’s with potentially scary news. All of a sudden, I realized that he might not always be there, healthy and energetic, my rock to rely on. Further medical investigations calmed our worries. But they did not suppress my urge to show him how much I love him. And how does a crocheter show her husband she loves him? By crocheting him something of course!
The result was this scarf in cashmere and wool. I crocheted in secret, and gave it to him for his birthday. And yes, he loves it.
Materials List
- Yarn: Phildar Laine/Cachemire (65 yards/60 meters per 0.88 oz/25 grams), black 5 balls, grey 3 balls, red 2 balls (1 if you don’t make a fringe), off-white 1 ball.
- Hook: 5 mm (US H-8). A hook one size larger for the fringe.
- Notions: Piece of cardboard for fringe.
Finished Size
Excluding fringe: 9.5 x 52 inches / 24 x 132 cms
Gauge
18 stitches and 23 rows = 4x4 inches/ 10x10 cm
Notes
This scarf is worked lengthwise. When crocheting the foundation chain, I suggest you place a marker in at least every 50th chain. This will save you time when counting.
In the pictures (and in real life), my husband wears the scarf folded double. Warm, comfortable and cozy! This is why you only see one of the two colour repeats that make up the width of the scarf.
The yarn I used can be hard to find in many countries. Please substitute at will, adapting number of stitches and number of rows. This stitch patterns lends itself to wonderful colourplay. Do experiment!

Halcyon
Author
by Jo Anne Tracy
Introduction
[Halcyon -- A fabled bird reported to have had the power to calm the wind and the waves while it nested on the sea during the winter solstice]
The Halcyon is a soft, rounded shawl with a little short-row shaping to help it drape across the shoulders. The center panel is framed with eyelets – to be woven through with ribbon if so desired. Two versions are shown. The one made with dark rose colored wool-acrylic blend is durable and machine washable, while the white mohair shawl with a ribbon embellishment is more delicate. Using a large hook gives a nice drape to these shawls, they are both very lightweight and surprisingly warm.
I also have it on good authority that a Halcyon shawl bestows a new mother with the power to calm the wind and the waves and enhances her natural ability to comfort her young.
Materials List
- White shawl: Henry’s Attic, Kid Mohair (2000 yds/ 1372 meters per 16 oz/340 g), natural, 1 16 oz cone – though you will only use about 1500 yds. Dark rose shawl: Lion Brand WoolEase (197 yds/180 m per 3 oz/85 g), Dark Rose Heather, 8 skeins.

Verity Poncho
Author
by Angela Ho for Entwined Designs
Introduction
A quick and easy poncho that is anything but boring. It's named it Verity because of the "V" created by the shell pattern when it's seamed, and we think the simplicity of the pattern may just reveal some truths to you as you relax into crocheting it. Classic in any colour, Verity's sleek, graphic lines lend this poncho an urban edge. Unseamed and longer, it would make a lovely wrap or shawl. This pattern of diagonally stacked shells needs to be blocked to show off its beauty; I chose to wet-block and stretch it out with my blocking wires.
Materials List
- Paton’s Classic Merino (223 yds / 205m per 3.5 oz / 100g), Colour 00230, 3(4, 4) balls
- Hook size (J/10 – 6mm)
Finished Size

Artisan's Traveling Hat
Author
Jo Anne Tracy
Introduction
The inspiration for this hat came from Lis Paludan’s Crochet: History & Technique. Among the many wonderful photos in this book is one of a man’s “Traveling Hat,” an patterned straight hat with a flat top. This is my version. The top is crocheted in a spiral, with alternating bands of color. The woven appearance of the side pattern is achieved by following a simple pattern in the round. As in tapestry crochet, the stitches in the round are slightly offset causing the diagonal lines in one direction to appear solid, while the diagonals in the opposite direction are broken. See the accompanying tutorial Two-color crochet in the ‘round for more information.
Materials List
For small hat (Figure 1): Brown Sheep, Nature Spun Worsted 100% wool (245 yds / 100 g) in Sage [A] and Charcoal [B], 1 skein each.
For medium hat (Figure 2) : Koigu, Kersti Merino 100% merino wool (114 yds / 50 g) in color K519 [A], 1 skein, and Brown Sheep, Nature Spun Worsted 100% wool (245 yds / 100 g) in Black [B], 1 skein.

Ballet Sweater
Author
by Robyn Chachula
Introduction
Do you drool over the awesome sweater patterns for knitting? I do! So instead, of just sitting around getting frustrated that I couldn’t find patterns for crochet, I decided to come up with one of my own. My favorite sweaters are the ballet wraps, for the simple reason that no matter how much you eat you always look good in them. This sweater can be dressed up with ribbon ties or button closures, the choice is yours. I challenge all of you to come up with your favorite crochet fashions, so that we, too, can have mouth-watering patterns.
Materials List
- 8(9,10,12,14) balls of Patons Kroy Socks, Norfolk Blue #54110
- 1-inch wide ribbon, 3 yarns or 3 buttons of your choice
- 3.25mm (US D) hook
- Yarn needle
Finished Size
XS (S, M, L, XL)
Actual bust measurements: 32.5 (35, 37.5, 40, 42.5)"
To fit bust measurments: 34 (36, 38, 40, 42)"
Gauge
One full block, see diagram (diagram.pdf) or pattern stitch = 1.25†x 1.25â€
Notes
- This pattern was initially designed in diagram form, so please consult diagrams in case of a written error. There is a PDF of each diagram for sizes exTRa small, small, medium, large, and exTRa large.
- Before jumping into crocheting, I really urge you to create a quick mock-up of the size you want. Ballet sweaters are known for fitting differently than normal sweaters. Please see the feature from last issue on how to create a quick mock-up.
- Kroy sock yarn is very cool yarn. You can wash it in the washing machine and it doesn’t shrink! I recommend washing and air-drying each piece before you sew them together. It really makes the piece a lot softer.
- The turning chains in this pattern have an additional chain to help loosen up the shells. If you find your shells are too loose you can simply decrease the turning chains by 1.
Pattern Stitch:

My Favorite Sweater Clutch
Author
by Julie Holetz
Introduction
Just as quickly as it arrived, summer has gone. In it’s place are shorter days, crunchy, amber leaves, and a brisk chill in the air. As the weather cools, we find ourselves drifting towards hot cocoa, warm soup, and soft wool yarns. Anyone who lives in a cooler climate has a favorite sweater. It’s soft, cozy, and makes us feel warm. I was inspired to combine my favorite sweater with my love for bags after seeing a recycled sweater dissected then reconstructed into a beautiful wool bag. Have fun with this idea and try playing with different collar structures. How about a cowl or split neck? Add a brooch, small pocket, or even buttons. The simple variation on the basic half double crochet captures the drape and texture of a soft wool sweater perfectly. A simple lining is necessary to contain pointy items like keys.
Materials List
- Brown Sheep Lambs Pride (85% soft wool, 15% mohair/190 yds), 1 skein each of M23 Fuchsia (MC), M105 RPM Pink (A), M06 Deep Charcoal (B)
- Size F/3.75mm and size G/4.5mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Remnant of fabric for lining (cotton works best) and matching sewing thread
- Sewing needle
- 1/2-inch magnetic clasp with backings (optional)
Finished Size
Body of bag: 11 inches wide x 4.5 inches high; collar adds another 2 inches in height.

Introduction
Here is your chance to learn a freeform spiral technique and wear it to prove it! This sweater wrap is crocheted with only a few simple stitches, easy to count increases, and requires no sewing! The spiral technique might take a few tries, but once you get it, there is no stopping you. I was so pleased with my accomplishment that I had to show it off as the focal point of a big, soft, alpaca sweater wrap.
Materials List
- Henry’s Attic Peruvian Tweed (665 yards per 8 oz skein), 1 skein each in Cream/Beige Tweed #117 (Color A), Gray/Black Tweed #109 (Color B), Taupe/Black Tweed #111 (Color C)
- Henry’s Attic Prime Alpaca (665 yards per 8 oz skein), 1 skein in Silver Gray (Color D)
Yarn Kit available here! - 5.0mm (US size H/8) for size small/medium
- 6.5mm (US size K/10.5) for size large/xlarge
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Finished Size
Gauge
With smaller hook: 7 sts and 4 rows in dc = 2”
With larger hook: 6 sts and 3 rows in dc = 2”
Notes
The entire garment is worked with the smaller size hook to obtain size small/medium, or the entire garment is worked with the larger size hook to obtain size large/xlarge.
Vary the position of the increases from round to round, so they don’t line up over each other. This will ensure evenly rounded edges in the completed garment.
