50 Cents a Pattern: Mini Christmas Crochet 20 On the Go projects

Novelty knitters and crocheters will love this collection of mini Christmas projects to crochet ready for the festive season. Val Pierce has designed twenty different projects, including a mini Christmas stocking, a cute reindeer, a snowman, a Christmas cracker, a snowflake, star, Christmas pudding, an angel, a fairy and much more each one costing only 50 cents a pattern. Full crochet instructions are provided, and each project is simply photographed so that the reader can see the design clearly, alongside a sumptuous styled photograph showing the beautiful possibilities of the finished pieces. There are plenty of ideas for ways of displaying the projects. The mini knits will appeal to those looking for items they can knit up quickly and on-the-go, using up ends of yarn.

Val Pierce’s passion for knitting began when her father taught her to knit at the age of five. Later in life she began home knitting for yarn manufacturers, and since then she has made a huge range of items, from evening dresses to teddy bears. She later began redesigning items of her own, and before long Val’s designs were appearing regularly in national knitting and crochet magazines. She also teaches knitting, as well as a range of other needlecrafts, to both adults and children. Val lives and works in Shropshire.
