This winter, Interweave Crochet gets both cozy and elegant with warm and festive designs and great gift ideas. From a lacy, close-fitting cardigan to a casual alpaca pullover to a pair of sweaters for the man or boys in your life, your fingers will certainly be kept busy this winter season. Add in hats, wraps, scarves, and bags to the mix, and you might just hand-stitch most of your holiday gifts this year. Plus, Dora Ohrenstein's feature on Irish crochet is accompanied by two wraps inspired by the 19th-Century technique, we explore Carol Ventura's passion for tapestry crochet, and Doris Chan illuminates the importance of shaping garments in the first part of a two-part series.
