Aelqnowledgsrne nts Thanks to my family and friends for your encouragement, inspiration and support - l'm forever in your debt. A huge thanks to Search Press for giving me this amazing opportunity to turn my dreams into reality - with a special thanks to Becky Shackleton (my editor) for her patience and assistance.

l'm hugely grateful to Cara Ackerman at DMC Creative World Ltd, for supplying the gorgeous yarns for my projects; lcouldn't have done it without your generous support. Thanks also to the talented photographer Paul Bricknell and Art Director Juan Haywood who've made my designs look absolutely amazing and super cute. Most of all l'd like to thank my husband Alex for his never-ending pattence and support, despite the house being slowly taken over by yarnll l'm pretty sure he'd be an expert crocheter as he now knows the theory inside out. Thanks Alex for letting me pursue my dreams - you're a star.

$ntrsdufitlmr.t I,ve crocheted for as long as I can remember, although I can't recail specifically when I first picked up a crochet hook. As a chiid, I wouid spena hours watching my Grandmother knit and crochet, fascinated by hlr speed and skills u. rn" crafted beautiful things from a ball of yarn or two. No pattern was evident, but within just a few hours a stylish sweater or cardigan would be produced, to be worn with pride by its new owner. Since then the process of making has always amazed me'

Now I also love to knit and crochet. It fills my days - it's my full-time job and I love it. I also teach crochet to others and love to- see people thrilled with their new-found skills. I feel proud to be able to pass my skills onto others who hopefully in turn will pass their skills onto friends and family, keeping these great crafting traditions u1'1"' . .

ffiffiffimr$mIm The amount of crochet paraphernalia on offer can be quite daunting, so the best way to start is to decide exactly what you want to crochet then buy the materials and equipment needed for that project. If you're a beginner, the characters in this book are a good way to start developing and perfecting your crochet skilIs as they are quick, fun and satisfyit g. Whilst each pattern provides a list of the yarns needed, along with needle sizes and other items such as buttons, you will also need some basic tools such as scissors, a wool needle and toy filling. Here's a list of some crochet essentials to help you get started:

Ya

rn

The majority of the patterns are made f rom just two types of yarn: DK (B-ply) and 4-ply (tingering) yarn, and the weight and yardage is given in each pattern. You can subsitute any yarn of a similar weight, but bear in mind that this may change the size of your characte[ and don't forget to check the yardage before you start, to ensure that you have enough yarn to finish your project.

Hooks Crochet hooks come in many types - steel, aluminium, plastic, bamboo or a mix of wood and metal. Some crochet hooks have chunky handles and are ergonomically designed to alleviate pain that may occur whilst crocheting. It is important to choose a hook that feels comfortable when working.

Wool needle This is essential for sewing up your work. Buy a wool needle with a large eye so that thicker yarn can be easily threaded, and make sure it has a blunt end - a pointy needle will split your yarn and spoil your work.

Stitch

ma

rkers

These are essential for marking the start of your rounds, and for holding your working loop while you fill your piece with toy filling. You can buy locking stitch markers that close like a safety pin and will not fall out of yout- work, or you can use open stitch markers that can be removed or added at any time. Stitch markers are usually made of plastic or metal.

Sharp scissors A small pair is necessary for snipping yarn ends, and a large pair for cutting out felt or fabric shapes. Don't be tempted

to snap yarn with your hands as thts can distort your work and will also hurt your hands.

Tape measure Usef ul

for measuring the length and width of work.

Rust-proof pins Essential

for keeping things in place

when sewing up projects, and for blocking your work.

Project bag A great place to keep all of your- work in

Toy f illing Safety toy filling is recommended for chrldren's toys. The bag will clearly state whether the filling is safe, hygienic and washable. Polyester is now the most popular synthetic choice as it is cheap, but you can also buy organic or eco-friendly options, which are biodegradable and less harmful to the environment.

progress safe and clean.

Felt and fabric pieces

Notebook and pen

Useful for adding embellishments and finishing touches to a project. The greater the wool content of your felt, the better the quality and firmness, making it easier to stitch and less likely to shred.

Useful for making notes as you crochet and for jotting down any changes or adaptations you decide to make to a pattern.

Sewing needle and thread Necessary for sewing very small items together and for stitching felt pteces to your work.

Safety eyes and noses Used to make characters more life-like and to create cute faces. They are

available in sizes ranging from llqin (6mm) up to 2/:in (15mm). There are two parts to safety eyes and noses: the eye or nose shape, which is usually plastic with a shank, and the plastic washer that fits over the shank. Always make sure you fit your safety eyes and noses according to the manufacturer-'s instructions and always conduct a safety check after fixing your eyes and noses: try to pullthem out to confirm that they are properly and securely fixed. Most manufacturers do .ot recommend using safety eyes and ioses for children under three years old.

Spray starch -:rls is an ironing aid but when sprayed :rto a piece of crochet and left to r-'y, it acts as a stiffener. lt is ideal =:i strengthening items such as the :-incess'crown (see page 25). lt is ^:xpensive and is available in the =-indry section of most stores.

trltost body parts start with a magic loop.

Wfren changing color, always do so during the last stitch of the last row or round: workyour stitch until you have two loops left on your hook then draw the new color through the last two loops.

*

Wnen crocheting it is normal to work through both horizontal loops of the top of the stitch (that is, under both loops of the 'V' of the stitch). However, at times, the pattern may state to work through 'front loops only' or through 'back loops only', in which case you need to follow these instructions in order to create the desired effect. The front loop of the stitch is always the front loop that is nearest you and the back loop is always the loop furthest away, regardless of which side of your work is facing you.

continuous spiral. When working in a spiral it is essential to use a stitch marker to mark the start of the round. Move the stitch marker up after each round so that you always know where your round starts and ends.

lnstructions on how to make a magic loop are given on page 1 1 . lf you prefer you can start with 2ch, then work Rnd 1 into the 2nd ch from hook and work your first round over the tail end of yarn so that you can pull the yarn to close the loop.

You will need to use a number of different techniques

to bring your crochet characters to life, from adding eyes and hair to attaching limbs.

Starting with a rnagic loop A magic loop is a good way to start crocheting in a spiral: you will work the first round into an adjustable loop and then puI1 it tight to close the hole.

Hold the yarn tail in your left hand. Make a loop at least 4in (10cm) away f rom the beginning of the yarn, with the tail end on the left and the end leading to the ball in f ront of the loop.

Z

lnsert the hook in the loop through the front, pick up the yarn leading to the ball and draw it up through the loop.

+ 5 6

You now have a working stitch on the hook.

Work the first round by inserting the hook into the loop and working over both the loop and the tail end of yarn - work as many stitches as instructed. At the end of this round, pull on the tail end of the yarn to close the ring.

Once fitted, poke ycur wool needle through your work to manoeuvre the toy filling around the piece to create an even shape.

Safety eyes come in a variety of sizes and are formed of two pieces: the eye, with a smooth or threaded rod, and

the washer.

Decide where to place you r eyes. The pattern may tell you on which round to place them and how many stitches to leave between them. Fill the head with toy filling before placing the eyes, to be sure that you're happy with the placement.

EIock$mffi Blocking your work will ensure a neat finish and helps.c stop edges from curling. Using rust-proof glass-headec pins, pin out your work onto an ironing board or similar surface, easing the fabric gently so that you do not disrc-,

the stitches Make sure the edges are straight or curvec as required. Spray the crochet with cold water untrl it is damp but not saturated, and leave to dry. Do not rerno\,1e the pins until the fabric is completely dry. You may need to repeat the process once or twice to achieve the desired result.

Attef,tr[ng hair with & mochet hook This technique is used as a finishing touch on the right side of your work, once it has been stuffed and sewn up. First, cut yarn into strips that are all the same length, as instructed by the pattern. Take a length of yarn

and fold in half.

Z

Push your crochet hook down into a stitch and up through the next stitch. Place the loop of the

folded yarn over the hook and pull back through the stitches, so that the folded yarn is pulled halfway through - the loop is sticking out on one side, and the two ends sticking out on the other.

$

Wrap the two ends of yarn around the crochet hook and pull them through the looped end. Pull tight. One strip of hair added. Continue to add strtps of yarn over the head as instructed by the pattern then trim into shape as directed.
