A thrifty way to use up leftover yarn, Vanessa Mooncie’s tiny makes are created in a variety of yarn types, and embellishments such as beads. Featuring 18 projects, this collection includes suggestions for adapting them for different uses, from jewellery to hair accessories. We love the tattoo-inspired designs, the teeny doughnut with sprinkles and the sweet cherry necklace. * Inside Crochet magazine * In this book of tiny yet stylish crochet projects Vanessa Mooncie has revisited a collection originally published in 2012 and revamped it for the mid-2020s. Designed to use leftover yarn scraps from bigger projects, the 18 designs in this book have been adapted and newly photographed. They feature a variety of crochet stitches, adorned with beads, sequins and simple embroidery, and the ideas were influenced by Vanessa’s collection of vintage porcelain flower jewellery. Favourite makes include the tattoo-inspired anchor, the edible looking doughnut, pretty flower corsages and cute fruit including cherries and a strawberry. These adorable projects can be customised in all sorts of ways, from brooches to bag charms and from keyrings to crafting accessories.
