They all have different wing patterns, even instructions for different styles of hair (braided pigtails, buns, and wrap, plus curls), all in bedspread wt. cotton. Cute as can be; my only complaint is that they used sequins for eyes, which looks kind of spooky, but maybe if they were trimmed to a more oval shape, hmmm....

LA2923 - ELEGANT COASTERS ($6.00) by Patricia #Kristoffersen: 14 patterns for coasters; these are not just individual motifs, these look like little doilies, with lots of detail.

All in bedspread wt. cotton.

LA2982 BOOKMARKS FOR ALL ($5.50) by Anne Halliday. Lots of variety in these 14 designs for bookmarks. Several are crocheted the long way, leaving long ends for fringe on both ends, which is a great idea since we don't have to figure out what to do with all those ends from color changes! All are made in bedspread weight cotton.

LA2986 CONTEST FAVORITES AFGHAN SQUARES ($9.95) 30 wonderful patterns for afghan blocks, with instructions for 10 full-size afghans from them. Words would not do this collection justice; there's just so much variety and the different looks are terrific!

Each afghan takes from 7 to 9 strips, so there's not as much joining later, in fact one is join-as-you-go. All use just two colors of yarn and post stitches for texture, and all are made with worsted weight yarn.

LA2992 VARIEGATED RUGS TO CROCHET ($5.50) by Anne Halliday. Eight triple-strand rugs that use an N hook and work up really fast. Four of them are rectangles worked in one piece. One is a round in one piece, one is a round in motifs, and two are rectangles with motifs. All in worsted weight yarn.

LA3020 RUFFLES & RIBBONS ($5.00) by Anne Halliday. 5 designs for baby blankets, all one-piece shown in solid colors. The patterns are delicate and lacy, with beading rows in ruffle, so you can run ribbon through it. However, with the danger that the ribbon might represent, I would probably do the beading row in solid dc and put little ribbon bows on the corners (for safety's sake!). All made in sport weight yarn.

LA3040 PRECIOUS PATTERNS FOR BABY ($5.00) by Anne Halliday. Five patterns using 2 or more colors (mostly more!) with lots of color changes and stitches that create very interesting patterns. These would be great with worsted weight yarn to make full size afghans, especially an afghan for a man, since they are not frilly at all and the work is very close and not "holey". All made in sport weight yarn.

LA3041 TOUCHED BY NATURE ($6.00) by Delsie Rhoades. Six doily patterns all using the pineapple to create different patterns.
