Do you see the elegant blanket (below)? The one draped over the deck chair? This blanket is called Essential Pleasure. If I had to choose my favourite design in this collection, Essential Pleasure is definitely the one.
The Triple Amusement handbag is great for carrying your essentials. The handbag when finished measures 11.5″ wide and 10″ deep (not including the handles).
You can also make the Go Green tote. This super durable tote is sturdy enough to carry library books! The tote when finished measures 13″ wide and 17.5″ long (not including the handles). To see an image of this please view the table of contents near the top of my post above.
This publication also includes 3 pillow patterns you can crochet.
Button Down this is a traditional envelope style pillow- and my favourite of the 3 pillows – I love the texture and diagonal lines of this design.
Gourmet Popcorn with tweedy stripes and popcorns for texture and
Ginger Roll – a lovely bolster pillow
