27-in-1 Christmas Crochet Ornaments & Wind Spinners Book — Paperback

Would you like to decorate your Christmas tree, your windows and your front door with crochet decorations you made yourself this year? This book shows you step by step how to crochet 27 festive designs, from cheerful gnomes with pom-pom hats to round ball ornaments and colorful spiral spinners that turn with every breath of air. Each pattern opens with its own complete materials list, including the exact yarn colors, its skill level and any special stitches, so you know before you start what to prepare.

The skill levels range from beginner to intermediate, so there is a project for every crocheter. If you are new to amigurumi, start with the crochet crash course. It covers:

• the abbreviations used in the book
• the magic ring as the start of round pieces
• color changes and working in the front and back loops
• the invisible finish for neat edges
• how to make the wire spiral for the wind spinners
• a photo guide to yarn pom-poms for the gnome hats

Step-by-step photos accompany every part of every pattern, so you never have to guess how the pieces go together. Ava's tips for each design share the small tricks that make a big difference, and the full-color print keeps the instructions clear and easy to read.

The finished ornaments make wonderful handmade Christmas gifts, gift tags and decorations: a gnome garland on the tree, a gingerbread ball ornament on a present, or a cheerful snowman spinner at the front door. Because many ornaments are finished in one evening, you can still crochet a whole series shortly before Christmas. The book itself is also a lovely gift for crochet lovers.

All finished items you crochet from these patterns may be sold, for example at a holiday craft market. A credit to MrsCrochetWorld is appreciated but never required. What is not allowed is copying, sharing, reselling or uploading the patterns or the book itself.
