I recently received a copy of this eBook from Leisure Arts:

Photo Credit: Leisure Arts, Inc

Leinhauser, J. (2007). Crochet embellishments. Little Rock, AR: Leisure Arts, Inc.
The book is available to purchase for $21.95 and the eBook is available to purchase for $9.99.

Crochet Embellishments

Here are some of the crochet embellishments I created from the eBook –

Ruffled Blossom (page 11)

Fancy Flora (page 13)

Royal Rose (page 18)

Cone Flower (page 19)

Pansy (page 26)

The 96-page eBook has written instructions for crocheting flowers, leaves, motifs & shapes, borders, bands (with a decorative edge on the top and bottom), braids and cords, tassels, bead and button covers, curlicues and fringes.

I am always looking for new ways to embellish my projects – and learning new techniques to be able to design my own. The more you crochet, the more you learn.  I found this eBook extremely helpful and I am happy to have it – both to make quick embellishments to ‘pretty’ up my hats and because it taught me what loops to work in to create pretty flowers of my own.

“Pretty Up” My Hats:

The written instructions are clear and easy to follow and the eBook is filled with colour photographs.

There is a something for everyone in this book – a great ‘go to’ resource to have in your collection!

Which is why I am thrilled to be able to offer you a chance to win a eBook copy of this book for yourself!

Leisure Arts has generously donated one extra copy of this eBook to be given away to a randomly selected winner.

As the eBook will be gifted through the Leisure Arts dot com website directly to the winner, the winner of the giveaway will need to have, or will need to sign-up for, a free account with Leisure Arts to receive their prize. You can sign-up for your free account here: Leisure Arts – Create Account

Good luck to everyone who chooses to enter!
