Magical Crochet

Stitchers of all skill levels will escape to a place of wonder as they crochet 13 imaginative projects for children. The 13 projects are eye-catchingly original and range in difficulty from simple to complex. Each features elements made from yarns that are shiny or glittering or offer some other magical gleam. All offer variations and customizing options for the creative crochet fan to enjoy, and result in beautiful items that can be used to decorate, wear, or play with. The projects are useful anywhere, from living rooms to fantasy worlds, and include essentials like a play crown that can be made in two heights, a backpack with a range of motifs to choose from, a banner perfect for any room, a protective sun hat, a rideable hobbyhorse unicorn, and a set of amazing wings to wear. These delightful designs reflect the reliably successful patterns and instructions that the author's known for among her design customers on Ravelry, at her shop aircrochet.com, and on her social media channels. The 13 projects here are inspired by the author's eureka moment early in her motherhood, when she noticed that children always choose the option that has glitter, and that they agree it's always better to be a unicorn.
