The patterns in this collection are suitable for intermediate crocheters even if you haven't made a garment before. All of the clothing patterns are graded to be as size inclusive as possible and there are a selection of accessories offering a choice of quicker, easier makes.

Author, Claudine Powley aka iron_lamb, is a talented crochet designer and her favourite crochet stitch is the granny stitch because of its flexibility.

A charming collection of 20 knitting patterns for baby comforter toys. The dolls are designed to be soft and squidgy so they can be held easily by little hands.

The 20 dolls include animals and people and include a wide range of fun and colourful designs. Choose from one of the simpler designs like the very simple Baby and Bird patterns, through to more complicated designs like the King and the Fox.

The author has developed a clever technique whereby the toys are knitted flat in a rectangle shape and then stitched into a tube shape before being stuffed and closed. Any embroidery details on the clothes are added at this point.

The arms, head and waist as well as features such as ears and antlers are then defined with some clever stitching and there are step-by-step instructions and photographs showing how to do this.

There are also instructions for how to pick up stitches from the initial ‘tube’ of knitting in order to create clothing details such as skirts, ruffles and frills.

Knitters will love these small projects because they are perfect for using up your yarn stash as they only take small amounts of any colour - you can have great fun deciding which colours to use for each of the outfits.

There is some simple colourwork knitting on some of the characters’ outfits including the deer's stranded colourwork sweater, and the boy's apple sweater, and there are large charts for all of these designs as well as for the simple lacework design for the mouse's skirt.

The author uses common embroidery stitches such as satin stitch, French knots and stem stitch to add details to the clothes such as buttons and decorative designs, as well as to create the faces, and there are templates for these designs with instructions for how to transfer them to the clothing. There are also step-by-step instructions and diagrams for all the embroidery stitches used.

So, choose your favourite character and get started today but be warned: knitting these dolls is addictive and we guarantee that you won’t be able to stop at one!

Discover the art of slow stitch fabric journaling with this practical guide to creating a fabric journal from textile artist, Jessie Chorley.

Learn how to stitch your own stories in fabric and thread to create a hand-stitched journal. Jessie encourages readers to collect special pieces of fabric, threads and other ‘treasure’ and explains how to combine these precious items with techniques including simple patchwork, hand embroidery and applique, to create a unique, hand-stitched book to treasure forever.

There are step-by-step instructions for how to make the fabric journal measuring 20cm x 20cm (7.8in x 7.8in). Jessie explains how to create your own seasonal story throughout the book so you can chart your year and mark any memorable occasions or events that you want to include, making it a wonderful memory book for a loved one or a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation.

The central theme of the project is the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and there are four seasonal hand drawn motifs on iron-on transfer paper that can be used as the basis of the designs. The four seasonal motifs are accompanied by four further motifs which are intended for the inside and outside covers.

Jessie then explains how to fill in and embellish these designs using a variety of her favourite stitches, threads, special notions, treasures, and keepsakes. As well as sewing techniques including scattered applique as a form of drawing and simple patchwork.

In addition to the full-page templates there is a large selection of smaller motifs for readers to use throughout their books. These include Jessie’s signature alphabet and number motifs which can be used to mark people, places, and dates.

Journal With Thread is suitable for all skill-levels – if you are a beginner you can follow the instructions very closely to make a beautiful book, however, if you an experienced maker, you can use it is as an inspirational guide to creating your own fabric journal, packed with Jessie’s beautiful artwork templates.

This guide is about having fun with mark making with needle and thread and creating your own unique fabric journal.

If you thought filet crochet was just for doilies, think again - this collection of designs is a fresh new look at this traditional crochet technique.

Learn to filet crochet with this collection of 17 crochet patterns for filet crochet garments including sweaters, tanks, tee shirts and cardigans. Filet crochet only uses two stitches in a grid formation - chain stitch and double crochet (if you're American, treble if you're in the UK).

This stitch combination creates a mesh-like fabric which is great for showing different motifs and patterns. Filet crochet was traditionally worked using cotton perle thread and used to create delicate home décor projects like placemats, coasters and tablecloths as well as curtains.

This fun collection takes it to another level by working it in thicker yarn and shows how impactful it can be when it's used for garments. There will be a wide range of motifs from abstract chevrons through to recognisable motifs for hearts, honeycomb and even Christmas trees, so you can make fun fashion pieces without worrying about complicated colourwork. The designs include sweaters and cardigans for the cooler months as well as lighter pieces including a tank top and tee shirts for warmer weather.

Author Lauren Willis, explains everything you need to know about how to work in filet crochet, including how to follow a chart to work the motifs, the stitches required and other tips and tricks.

The 17 project patterns are written in US crochet terminology but there is information about the equivalent UK terms, and other technical information such as yarn weights and hook sizes.

The size grading for all of the featured projects ranges from small adult (tween) up to another 10 sizes so the patterns are very size inclusive.
