A simple stacked rows foundation starts this cowl off with the look of picots, then a four-row lace repeat creates textured arrows with defined points around the base. One 100-gram ball of worsted weight yarn is all you need to crochet this fascinating cowl.

Raegan is the perfect transition piece for the slow shift into cooler weather. Chain stitches and strategically placed post crochets make up the fabric of this sweater giving the front and back the appearance of soft triangular intersections that resemble cable bridge supports. Heavy worsted yarn makes this a relatively fast project, while its unique mesh makes it light and comfortable for cool weather wear.

This fun wall hanging evokes the colors and textures of the Southwest desert that’s perfect for adorning your living room wall. Bands of single, half-double, double, and treble crochet create the waves of sand, while the rising sun is worked intarsia style in clusters against a sky-blue background. Post-stitch cacti are worked separately and appliqued to the finished piece — feel free to have fun with your placement here! Finally, add some fringe to the design’s bottom edge to make this piece complete.

Ivanna is the bold sweater that’s sure to make a statement this season. This almost abstract representation of a chevron fabric with one solid V motif is an eye-catcher, while the unique and clever construction of the front panel is likely to engage both intermediate and expert crocheters alike.

Inspired by colorful abstract paintings, this afghan is large enough to go over the top of a single bed, but it’s also the right size for a picnic on the beach. It is made with three sizes of strips using a hairpin loom (which have rows of sc between the side loops ), woven together. There is a right and a wrong side. Afghan is edged with a twisted fringe on the short edges, scs and hdcs along the long edges, using a neutral shade to imitate traditional woven blankets.
