FIRST ROW
The lifeblood of any magazine is made
up of top-notch contributors and dedicated
readers. Over the years, Crochet World has
published countless quality designs from
many talented and diverse crochet artists.
It’s what our loyal readers have come to
expect and grown to love about this awardwinning magazine that’s truly America’s
favorite crochet publication (check out our
latest award below!).
This issue is no exception when it comes
to creative designs with a little something for everyone. With so
much focus these days on recycling and reusing, we have several
great designs that let you take items you may already have on
hand and use them in a new way. Our Denim Pocket Place Mat
and Rag-ety Rug are perfect projects for recycling old jeans. A
large plastic container from the grocery store that once contained
cheese puffs can be reinvented into a cute yarn or storage tote.
And don’t get rid of that plain long-sleeve T-shirt that has lost
its charm. By adding lacy crochet inserts in the sleeves, you can
create a whole new look with longer wearability.
Aug. 2, 2015, is National Friendship Day, and our Celebrate
Friends section offers several gift ideas for remembering those
special people in our lives. Included are a set of cute mug rugs, a
pretty eyewear case, a glamorous scarf and a sweet floral necklace.
Thank you to all of the designers who have helped make
Crochet World the outstanding magazine it is, and to the readers
who have made Crochet World America’s favorite crochet magazine!
Happy stitching,

Newsstand buyers can access a digital version of this issue with
a limited-time code of CW5163.

Meet the Winner
Eve Leder
I cannot remember a time when I was not
interested in some sort of artistic expression. I am
self-taught and love beading, crochet, decorative
painting, decoupage, jewelry making, knitting,
paper crafts, polymer clay and sewing!
I got hooked on crochet when I started crocheting afghans. Busy
crafters understand how hard it can be to carve out large blocks of
time to work on and to finish a project, so crocheting afghans one
square at a time was the solution. Each square is like a mini project
that can be finished in a spare moment.
The creation of Nyla the Indian Elephant for the Winner’s Circle
was the result of a trip to a Japanese bookstore with my friend. I
discovered amigurumi, the Japanese art of making small stuffed
animals and anthropomorphic creatures.
My work has appeared in Bead Design Studio, Bead Unique,
BeadWork, Crafts ’n Things, Craft Ideas, Create & Decorate,
Crochet World, Just Cards!, PolymerCAFE, Quick & Easy Painting,
RubberStampMadness, Scrap & Stamp Arts, Soft Dolls & Animals and
Stitch. If you are interested in seeing more of my work, please visit my
blog at www.craftdesignerforhire.blogspot.com.

Her name means “winner” in the
Indian culture, and it couldn’t be
more appropriate for this adorable
Winner’s Circle design!

PATTERN NOTES

Weave in loose ends as work
progresses.
Single crochet stitches are
worked around fabric strips.
When working around the fabric strips, make sure to stretch
the single crochet over the
fabric, so it lies tidily and not
clumped up.

For tidier look, sew strips together at short ends at an angle,
to create a long rag ball. Fold
strips over twice and press with
an iron to create a strip that is
1/2 inch wide.
For more rustic look, simply
crochet over the strips without
pressing them or seaming them.
When a strip ends, simply fold
end of a new strip into middle of
old strip and work over them.

Fold strip over and position it
along next row to be worked,
with unworked end pointing to

From Our Readers
Hello! I absolutely love
this magazine and have
crocheted many of the
patterns (and hope to do
many more). I am quite
proud of the tree skirt
I just finished from the
December 2014 issue. I
have been looking for a
tree skirt pattern for a few
years and fell in love with this one right away! I
just wanted to share it with you ... and brag a bit!
—Annette Tomlinson

I’m really enjoying
the Crochet World
February 2015
issue. Here is a
picture of my
Roses & Shamrock
Necklace. I loved
creating this piece.
Next up is the
Sweet Sentiments
Jar. Then it will
be the Trifolium Doily, or should I do the
Twists & Turns Ripple Throw? There are so
many beautiful patterns to choose from.
Thanks for a wonderful magazine!

From Our Facebook Fans
My mother-in-law made the
beautiful Playful Penguins
Blanket from the December 2014 issue! It came out
perfectly!

Here’s Crochet World
fan Margot A-N’s
finished Fun on the
Run Scarf from the
February 2015 issue!
Great job, Margot!

I just found the December 2014 issue of Crochet
World at Michael’s today and picked it up because of
the Playful Penguins Blanket on the cover. I wanted
to say thank you for the code to download a digital
copy of the issue.

Please don’t go out of business like all the
other crochet magazines have! I am hoping
to keep you around for a long time!
