With the new PlanetJune Accessories CAL starting, I thought it was about time to show you these wristwarmers I made from the Front-and-Back Wristwarmers<\/em> pattern in my book, Idiot’s Guides: Crochet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They look lovely in person, but I’ve had real trouble photographing them! Because they’re such a rich, deep brown, they look like a solid mass in photos, and you can’t see the gorgeous stitch texture. But I think they deserve to be seen, so please forgive my over-exposed hands in these photos – let’s call them ‘arty’ shots \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"brown<\/p>\n

I made them in a stretch yarn (Elle Stretch) that’s much finer than the yarn I used for the book samples, so I expected to have to use the large size instructions even though I have small hands, but the stretch in the yarn compensated for that, giving me a nice snug – but not tight – fit.<\/p>\n

\"brown
\nDon’t they fit me well?<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe you didn’t think my book IG: Crochet<\/em> was for you, because you’re way past the beginner stage of crochet? If you enjoy making accessories crochet pattern, that’s definitely not the case! I arranged the included patterns at the end of the book in approximate order of difficulty, and there are some lovely – and a little more advanced – accessories at the end of the pattern section, including the stunning Double Diagonals Shawl (skills: crocheting lace, reading a chart), and the matching Front-and-Back Hat and Fingerless Mitts set (skills: post stitches, working into front\/back loop only, making accessories to fit):<\/p>\n

\"Idiot's
\nIG: Crochet patterns – arranged in approximate order of difficulty from basic (top) to a little more challenging (bottom). All the techniques you’ll need to make all these patterns are explained in full, with detailed step-by-step photo tutorials, in the book.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’d like more info on the book, please see my main Idiot’s Guides: Crochet page<\/a>, which includes links to the week of posts I wrote to explain the book’s contents in detail.<\/p>\n

And if you’re making any projects from the book before the end of the year (or any PlanetJune Accessories<\/a> patterns), join the Accessories CAL in my Ravelry group<\/a> and show us what’s on your hook – we’d love to see what you’re crocheting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
