Make room for more yarn when you use up your stash on these irresistible scrap afghans. Offering a contemporary take on the traditional scrappy afghan, each of the 20 designs requires a main color, plus no more than one skein each of the scrap colors.
Like the frosting on the cupcake, or the tiara on the bride, a beautiful border is the finishing touch for a lovingly created afghan, whether knitted or crocheted. Borders can be elegant or whimsical, can match or contrast with the afghan, and can lift even the simplest afghan from "ordinary" into the "very special" category. If you usually depend upon fringe as an accent, you'll have fun experimenting with these 50 crochet borders by Jean Leinhauser. The borders can be worked with any weight of yarn that works well with the body of the afghan. For some designs, the number of colors used in a border also can be varied. General instructions are included for how to use the borders, work with stitch pattern multiples, and estimate yarn amounts.
Designed to give you more than 100 crochet project ideas for using all that left over yarn. This collection of projects includes everything from vests to cosy afghans to pretty doilies to kitchen table sets to cuddly dolls and more.
Includes an inspirational gallery of designs and motifs, this instructional guide teaches all the skills necessary to make beautiful afghans and throws--from stunning effects achieved by combining color, pattern, and texture, to the finishing touches with borders, tassels, beads, and embroidery.
