A NOTE TO OUR READERS: Due to

for our readers.

4 Crochet World CROCHETWORLD.COM AUGUST 2015

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 award-

winning 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 oral 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,

WINNER’S CIRCLE

Nyla the Indian Elephant

Design by Eve Leder

EASY

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 nish a project, so crocheting afghans one

square at a time was the solution. Each square is like a mini project

that can be nished 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 stued

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.

Do not join rounds. Use stitch

marker to mark rounds as

work progresses unless other-

wise stated.

Join with slip stitch as indicated

unless otherwise stated.

beads, 1 pearl bead, 6 rocaille

beads, 1 pearl bead.

Join with slip stitch as indicated

tern Notes) on cotton, join cotton

with sc in any eyelet of button

and around outside of button,

work 4 sc in same eyelet, sc in

next eyelet, push up pearl bead,

2 sc in same eyelet, push up

next 3 beads, 2 sc in same eye-

let, push up next 7 beads, 2 sc

in next eyelet, push up next 3

beads, 2 sc in same eyelet, push

up pearl bead, sc in same eyelet,

5 sc in next eyelet, join (see Pat-

tern Notes) in first sc, leaving

length for sewing, fasten off.

REINVENT & RECYCLE

22 Crochet World CROCHETWORLD.COM AUGUST 2015

PATTERN NOTES

Weave in loose ends as work

progresses.

Single crochet stitches are

worked around fabric strips.

When working around the fab-

ric strips, make sure to stretch

the single crochet over the

fabric, so it lies tidily and not

clumped up.

Strips at end of rows are folded

back around for the next row,

forming a continuous zigzag.

If Rug bunches, slide the fabric

through single crochets to make

sure they lie flat.

Every couple of rows, measure

to make sure Rug maintains

width of 25 inches.

FABRIC PREPARATION

When preparing fabric strips for

use, strips can be prepared one

of two ways:

For tidier look, sew strips to-

gether 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

½ 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.

RUG

Measure 36 inches in from end

of first strip, holding 2 strands

of yarn tog, fold yarn over strip,

ch 1, work 100 sc toward beg

of strip, distributing sts evenly

along strip, stop 1½ inches

from end. Fold strip over, 6 sc

over doubled strip, place stitch

marker. Work 6 sc in lp formed

by strip. Now hold the strip so

the side just worked is pointing

toward ground, and work along

other side of strip.

Work 107 sc between sc on other

side of strip. Fasten off.

*Fold strip over to beg working

next row, insert hook in first sc,

draw lp through, holding both

ends, ch 1, drop tail, ch 1, sc in

same st as beg ch-1, [sk next

2 sts, 2 sc in next st, ch 1] 35

times, sk next 2 sts, 2 sc in st

with stitch marker, fasten off,

do not turn.

Fold strip over and position it

along next row to be worked,

with unworked end pointing to

the right. Insert hook in first

sc, draw lp through and holding

both ends, ch 1, drop tail, ch 1,

sc in same first sc, ch 1, [sk next

2 sts, 2 sc in next st, ch 1] 35

times, sk next 2 sts, 2 sc in next

st with stitch marker, fasten off,

do not turn.

Rep from * until a total of 61

rows are completed.

LAST ROW

Fold strip over to begin working

next row. Insert hook in first sc,

draw up a lp, holding both ends,

ch 1, drop tail, ch 1, sc in first sc,

ch 1, [sc in each of next 2 sts, 2

sc in next st] across. Fasten off

yarn. Leaving a 2-inch length

of denim, cut and fold under to

WS inserting underneath sc of

previous row.

FINISHING

Using sharp tapestry needle,

weave in ends, burying them in

fabric strips.

Block with steam or wet-block

and allow to dry completely. CW

Hello! I absolutely love
