Bejewelled Tank Top
The Bejewelled Tank Top can now be found in Issue 4 (October/November) of Inside Crochet! This sleeveless tank can be dressed up for the evening, and it can just as easily be worn as a more casual piece all the way through summer.
The body is worked side to side in two identical pieces (Side 1 and 2). After both pieces are completed, Side 2 is turned inside out to form the left side of the body. The two pieces are seamed together in the center front. A bottom band is picked up once the body is seamed together, and is worked back and forth. A collar is crocheted separately which is sewn onto the body.

Timeless in Inside Crochet!
The "Timeless Cardigan" can be found in the Spring 2009 issue of Inside Crochet! This cardigan looks more complicated to make than it actually is…as the cardigan is basically three rectangles. The upper portion of the cardigan is created by two identical panels that are worked side to side from the sleeve A waistband is picked at the bottom edge of the upper body pieces in hdc, and is shaped by strategically placed decreases. The sleeves are fashioned by gathering the edges and adding bands.

Queen Anne's Lace Blouse
As seen in Interweave Crochet Summer 2008...the Queen Anne's Lace Blouse.
This close-fitting pullover sweater was designed to be similar to a feminine blouse. It includes a beautiful (but easy) pattern stitch that is anchored by borders of half double crochet. The sweater includes a separate bib that is sewn onto the front, and is finished with a mandarin style collar.

Tolmie Cardi Vest
As seen in Interweave Crochet Spring 2008...the "Tolmie Cardi Vest"!
This vest is worked from the top down, and includes a yoke with several rows of half double crochet with mitered corners. The pattern stitch for the bodice is a simple two row repeat pattern. After the waist, a larger hook is used to create a slightly wider bottom edge and flattering “V” shape in the front. The vest includes instructions for a crocheted belt and buttons, but you can use your own belt and buttons for a truly unique look.
