I don’t always post when I make things becasue of restrictions with publishers and things of that sort sometimes other authors when I am testing patterns for them. I actually have about 12 times right now I can’t show till a later date then I will share them too.
Last October I made 4 baby bonnets out of yo-yo crochet. They where possible items for the book or for the magazine article they never ended up in either. So here is my question are people liking these if so I can post the patterns and make them available to people. Some of these photos were taken last year shortly after I made these in October to send to the publisher as some idea submissions for the magazine and some today. I was on vacation for my Vova’s birthday last year and I got these ideas in my head so the colors are a little off becasue I had not planned on making bonnets and it was meant more as an idea to get out of my head. But I still like these anyway funny colors and all on some of these. I never finished these by putting their ribbons on them I should do that now.Enjoy

>Just noticed today that I needed to post some errata for the “Learn to do yo-yo Crochet” book. Just so you know this doesn’t effect any of the patterns in the book it is in an area where it is just explaining a concept so the numbers don’t actually hurt anything but it would be nice to have things correct.

My popular yo-yo crochet tutorial has now been made into a book so you can take it with you when you go places and keep it with your project. Annie’s Attic has made it available for those who have asked when can they buy a hard copy the time is approaching.
There are the old ways as well as a few new ways of manipulating the yoyos such as :Hexagon yo-yo, zig-zag yo-yo, granny square yo-yo, straight lines yo-yo and yo-yos in a chevron formation. The techniques are discussed in the projects so you can learn to manipulate this very versatile stitch all the more and create some of your own unique projects as well as the ones in the book.
- You can be put on a waiting email list so when the book is available to pre-order you will receive and email for it. That area is in the link above in the box that reads “notify me”.
I am so excited about this it is so weird to see my name in print on a book cover that can be purchased all over the world by a major distributor. This is something I wanted to do for a while I hope to be able to do more things in the future.
- baby blanket
- hex lap afghan( which has the hexagon pattern and how to join them in it)
- hex pillow
- trivet
- place-mat set
- matching hot plate for place-mat set
- shawl
- hat to match shawl (2 versions of hat one short and one longer)
- scarf
- Then there is the tutorial itself which covers row construction, granny construction, joining has more info for different techniques than the one on my blog did
Bonus explanations of how to use tutorial in the joining area of the book’s how to there is ideas how to make 3 more items
- granny square yoyo scarf
- giant yo-yo granny square baby car seat afghan
- granny squares (like my afghan in thread) with starting chain counts
To clear up some confusion that may arise from the sites references.
Annie’s site reads 8 projects and the cover reads 9 but there are 12 if you count the three explained at the end of the joining tutorial and then there is the tutorial itself. I am not counting the second version of the hat as a separate pattern but if you did then add one more to the list.
