I just found the mistake in the pattern " Garden Gate".

the crochet pattern
( on the second page of pdf file pattern, and the first page of hard cover pattern).
there are (61 sts) on Row 1, Row 3 and Row 7. it should be (51sts).

I am sorry for mistake.

These are all crochet designs. Available for your LYS and Ravelry.

Simply clover is designed for intermediate. the body part is very simple. motifs are little advanced. You can use another simple motif instead of this.

Maku is for Wrap in Japanese.

I made this for wraped skirt, but can use these for a shawl or a small blanket. It is not Granny square, has little more dimension.

Bamboo Leaf is felted pattern. It is good design for begginers.

"Breeze" and " Rolling Hills"

I have been designing for individual sale ( not for book) these days.

I love my design " Mountain Layer", specially the stitch pattern around neck.

But I don't have many chance to ware that here in HOT Arizona.

So I made up front open style using same stitch pattern as Mountain layer.

It is much easier pattern, because this is no sewing project.

I also made " Breeze".

This is the same style as my design " Fall Wind".

I just wanted use different combination yarn and wanted to make sleeveless for this. and I can ware more often.
