Mother's Day Gifts




Mother's Day will be here soon - do you have an idea what you would like to give your mother? Or is there another mom in your life that you would like to honor and encourage next month?

Well, here are 3 projects that can be found in the April 2016 issue of I Like Crochet that would make great gifts and are quick to make.

Shimmer and Shine Necklace
 
This necklace is crocheted with Oso Blanco's Scubidu Gold yarn - the photo doesn't do the yarn justice - it sparkles and shines wonderfully.  The centerpiece is a beautiful cabochon (moonstone) that I found on www.etsy.com.
 
Vivid-floral-tote_small2
 
Vivid Floral Tote
 
This bag is crocheted with vibrant colors of one of my favorite yarns - Sinfonia (100% cotton) by Omega.  The floral stitch is easier than it looks and is just a 3 round repeat.

Celtic Knot Necklace
 
This decorative knot is the "Motherhood Knot" - if you look closely, you can see 2 hearts intertwined to make the pendant.  The beads are real coral beads that compliment the mint DMC embroidery floss well.

I Like Crochet is a digital only crochet publication - once you buy a year's subscription you instantly have access to all patterns that have published thus far. It's a great deal and there are many great projects!

Heart Crochet Projects for Valentine's Day

Did you know the heart symbol goes back to the 13th century?  It is one of the most widely recognizable symbols across the entire globe and I bet you see it at least once a day wherever you may go. 

I love to crochet hearts.  There are many different ways you can do it and each way has a unique style of its own.

In the current February issue of Crochet World  (available here)  there are 3 designs of mine that feature hearts.


 
The Love to Read Bookmark has a lacy heart that works up quickly - the perfect Valentine token for any book lover.
 
 
The Floating Heart Pendant uses simple crochet stitches as a frame for a pretty silver heart-shaped charm.
 
 
The Love You Teddy is snuggly and huggable with his Granny Square-style heart and paws.
 
There is still time to make one of these or all three for those you love in honor of Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day!
