A MAGAZINE WITH GREAT GIFT IDEAS

The latest issue of Interwearve Crochet Accessories (special Issue 1010) is on the newsstands now and is FULL of wonderful ideas that will make fantastic gifts for those special people in your life!

There are lots of very attractive caps, scarves, and fingerless mitts in this issue. Lots of color. Gifts for all ages. I especially like the looks of the Fancy Neck Wrap designed by Sheryl Means, stash-busting Carmen’s Jazz Scarf (on the cover) by Sue B. Balcom, and the yummy Victorian-influenced neckwarmer called Sarah’s Steampunk Collar. There are cute, cute fingerless mitts to match this collar!

Other winners include Laura’s Lacy Mittens (with a sort of windowpane design), the adorable Molly’s Mukluks (for tykes) by Toni Rexroat, and Audrey’s Lace Cap by Linda Price.

You’ll find plenty of other bags, scarves, caps, socks, and handy tips in this nifty collection. I got mine at Joann’s with a coupon, so it was an even greater value at 40% off!

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.

This is the first accessories/gifts issue of a crochet magazine that has multiple things I’d make. There’s some really nice stuff and enough variety to make it worth having. I got it Sunday and won’t let myself look at it again until I finish the scarf I’m working on.
