Marvelous Crochet Motifs


If you are like most crocheters one of the first things you learned to make after mastering the basics was a granny square motif. Always a perennial favorite, the granny square is often the first motif we fall in love with, but certainly not our last.

 

Now on the newsstands, Marvelous Crochet Motifs is filled with over 35 motif projects, including a few variations on our favorite granny square. Here are a few highlights from this special edition.

You’ll find join-as-you-go projects like the Gradient Granny Top with its variation on the granny square made by off-setting the center of the motif. Cute as a top, crochet more motifs and add to the length for a fun beach cover-up too!

I love the Squaring the Circle purse. It’s a fun way to use up small bits of leftover floss and size 10 thread. The bright pastel color range is perfect for spring, but you can make it your own by using black thread and bright primary colors of floss. Or how about one in neutrals tans, beige, creams, grey and black?

Some projects require just a few motifs like the pretty Spring Star Flowers Shawl crocheted in a beautiful hand-paint look alpaca blend yarn.

And who can resist our cute model, Scarlet looking over the Peekaboo Quiet Book! You’ll have fun making the 6 motifs that make up the project. Each page has a fun activity to keep little hands busy. There is a page with a funny frog catching flies with his tongue, a peekaboo bear, flowers to button on and off, and more!

There are also plenty of projects for your home including several thread pieces to crochet. This beautiful Trefoil Doily uses an unusual triangular motif. And the possibilities are endless; make it as the pattern suggests or keep adding more motifs for a runner or even a tablecloth!

Add a pretty touch of sunshine to your home with the Sunny Garden Throw. Using the motifs only in the border, keeps the focus on the motifs and the pretty lace edging.

Make sure you pick up this special edition soon at your local craft store or Walmart. Or go here to order your copy today.

Happy Crocheting!
