Baby basketweave pullover
Baby gift for a friend. Pattern Source: Oxmoor House's Vanna's Afghan and Crochet Favorites collection. This book is not available except as a package kind of thing from Oxmoor House -- they send you two packets of patterns a month, each set costing $15, until the book is filled. The pattern might have been published in another Leisure Arts book, but I haven't seen it anywhere else.
Chenille backpack
Pattern Source: ASN leaflet #1230, Chenille Purses. Annie's Attic now distributes ASN's publications.
Blue summer pullover
Pattern Source: This is from the April 1995 issue of Crochet Fantasy. Call (800) 877-5527 or visit their website to see if they sell the back issue.
Basketweave pullover (detail)
See previous photo for description.
Basketweave pullover
[1/19/2004] This was my first attempt at making a clothing item freeform, using a basic stitch but no actual pattern. Except for the fact that I crochet pretty tightly and therefore always end up getting the size wrong (this is very tight on me, so I ended up giving it to my mother, who's smaller than I am), it came out really nice. I used a basketweave stitch done by doing 4 front-post dc alternating with 4 back-post dc. I did it in rounds so I didn't have to sew -- worked from the bottom up, then did rows starting from the armpit, and decreased at the neckline to give it almost a V-shape. I slip-stitched the shoulder seams and crocheted the sleeves right onto the body rather than making them separately and sewing. I have since made another for myself. Pattern Source: Original. I did not write out the pattern, just free-formed it.
Blue fuzzy sweater
[10/25/2003] I actually made this a couple years ago and just now noticed that I never put it on my page! I got this weird fuzzy blue yarn at a yarn sale in NJ (actually, I also got the wool-blend burgundy I used in the sweater just above this at the same sale). I didn't include a detail picture here because the yarn is so fuzzy that you really can't see the individual stitches anyway. Pattern Availability: I did this so long ago that I'm not absolutely sure (and the stitches are so hard to see that I can't tell by looking), but I think this pattern was from Leisure Arts leaflet #2514, Back to Basics: Crochet Pullovers and Cardigans.
Men's Homespun turtleneck sweater
Pattern Source: The pattern came from Lion; it's called "The Big Easy Crochet Sweater" and it's available for free on Lion's website.
Cardigan
Pattern Source: More Quick and Easy Crocheted Sweaters (Leisure Arts leaflet #2896). Country Yarns may also have it.
Cardigan (close-up)
See previous photo for pattern source.
Blue Luster-Sheen pullover sweater
Pattern Source: Magic Crochet magazine, June 1997 issue. Their address is P.O. Box 1971, Danbury, CT 06813-9849.
Variegated summer pullover
[8/24/2002] Summer pullover done in a now-discontinued variegated Luster Sheen. Pattern Source: April 1995 issue of Crochet Fantasy. Their phone number is (800) 877-5527 if you'd like to call and see if they sell the back issue; you can also visit their website. In fact, it's the exact same pattern as the blue top shown elsewhere in this album.
Aran sweater
[10/25/2003] This is more of a burgundy color than it looks in the picture. I love these cable-type patterns that look like knitting. The pattern here called for sport-weight yarn, but I used worsted and didn't have to change the pattern much since I crochet pretty tightly to begin with. Pattern Availability: Another from Red Heart Aran Classics, leaflet #105035. Their phone number is (800) 526-5111.

Summer pullover (purple)
See previous photo for pattern source; it's the same pattern as the green summer pullover.
