![]() If you have sewn our Hinterland Dress, you should be equipped to sew the Lichen. More advanced sewists can branch out and choose mid-weight wool or even silk or silk velvet. We recommend mid-weight linen or yarn-dyed cotton for all-season wear. ![]() It is unlined, constructed with front and back facings of the same fabric. The Lichen can be made with a sweeping high-low hem or a straight hem.ĭepending on the fabric you choose, the Lichen Duster can be worn in cold or warm weather. Use your own belt or wrap the included fabric belt around your waist, tucking in the ends, for a chic morning-to-evening dress. To see this book and others available visit the DK Publishing Website.Style the Lichen Duster over dresses and jumpsuits, or jeans and tees. Well if you visit DK Canada today there is a free pdf download available for the Granny Pillow Project. Would you like a free crochet pattern from the book? I really can’t say enough about this book. If this is the first time you are picking up a crochet hook – this guide will provide you with the knowledge you need to learn the craft. If you are looking for a book that explains crochet from start to finish – this is the one you need. This is an excellent guide to have in your crochet library. Here are some other designs in the book and please note these images were provided by DK Publishing to be used in this post (and note also the full pattern was provided in the image below for the Women’s beret – click the image to enlarge): Photo Credit: DK Publishing and Photographer Ruth Jenkinson Photo Credit: DK Publishing and Photographer Ruth Jenkinson I fell in love with the Flower Blanket (page 143), Baby Blanket (page 148), Rag Doll (page 271), Summer Tunic Dress (page 274), Child’s Hoodie (page 240) and the Baby Boy’s Booties (page 219). ![]() I tried one of the Simple Openwork Stitch Patterns: Shell Mesh Stitch (page 114): I crocheted a Filagree bookmark (page 178): I did try a couple of the patterns where gauge would not be an issue and I practised some of the stitches included in the guide. Photo Credit: DK Publishing and Photographer Ruth Jenkinson I will have to wait until I can make the trip to the city to pick up some “DK weight merino-mix yarn” or order some online (twist my rubber arm!). I wanted to crochet the Striped Sweater for Drew but I tried a few of the yarns in my stash and I could not reach the specified gauge. I like to use the same yarns used in patterns – I find it much easier to reach the specified gauge if I start with the same tools. I of course am willing to go shopping in my Local Speciality Yarn Shop to buy the imported DK weight yarn. They are beautiful – but they are not as easy to find here in Canada. The only flaw I can find in the guide (for me) are the yarns used in the patterns. Plus it includes more than 80-crochet patterns!
