24-Hour Crochet Projects

by Rita Weiss

What would you like to have crocheted by tomorrow--a cardigan with a matching halter top? A cozy afghan? Perhaps a warm hat to ward off the wind? Then get out the needles and follow these patterns, because every one of them takes just a day to do. Even though a crocheter with average skill can handle them all, those with more experience will find plenty of details to intrigue them in these fashionable designs. The sexy, low-cut Glitter Glamour Top and Shawl make a lovely combination, and photos present a variety of stylish ways to wrap the shawl. Or crochet a cheery multicolored scarf, sweaters, purses, outfits for babies and children, and lots more. Includes a conversion chart for crocheters outside the U.S.
