Dear Crochet Friend,

It's crocheting weather!  Here are some of my more recent exclusive crochet patterns which I hope you will enjoy making.

Native American Totes.  These three colorful tote bags feature traditional Native American themes.  The geometric shapes really lend themselves to the dropped-dc format.  The crochet patterns use sc, hdc and dropped dc stitches to form the design.  I have also included two options for an easier one-color center section.  Written instructions as well as graphs are included.  They are made using worsted weight cotton, but if you prefer, they can easily be made from acrylic yarn.  $8.95

Caribbean Cruise for 18" Dolls.  Your 18 inch doll such as American Girl, Springfield or similarly sized dolls will be outfitted for shipboard adventure in these four crocheted outfits.  Made from sport, baby or DK weight yarn:
1. Calypso:  Dress, Head Scarf, Sandals, Shawl.
2. Fun on Deck:  Polka dot and stripes tunic dress, capris, hat and sandals.
3. Swim Suit:  Suit, "straw" hat and matching sandals.
4. Halter Top Maxi Dress:  Dress and shawl

Intermediate skill.  $9.95

Taos Poncho and Afghan.  Popular southwest themes highlight this textured poncho and afghan made using just single and double crochet stitches. All color changes are made at the beginning of rows.  Pattern includes instructions for a one-size fits most women poncho plus a bonus matching afghan. We used cotton worsted weight yarn, but you may substitute acrylic if desired.  Easy to intermediate skill.  $6.95
