The Crochet Foundry Team is proud to bring you our latest issue!
Winter 2020 is once again filled with seven brand-new size inclusive designs that are here to make you feel warm and cozy through the chilly winter months. We offer beautifully photographed items, tech edited patterns, yarn substitutions for every budget, and cookie recipes so you can snack while you crochet!

SEVEN SIZE-INCLUSIVE DESIGNS
The winter issue not only includes cookie recipes, but our designs themselves are named after cookies!
Check out the seven patterns included in the Winter 2020 issue!

CRANBERRY BISCOTTI TURTLENECK by Michelle Moore
Yarn: Swish Worsted
Perfect for chilly winter days, the Cranberry Biscotti Pullover will become your favorite cozy sweater. The turtleneck adds warmth and protection when venturing out in the snow. The pullover is worked from the top down with a classic fit. For an oversized fit,
select a larger size. Small bobbles add detail and visual interest to the pullover, replicating festive cranberries. Video tutorial included.

STRIPED SHORTBREAD DUSTER by Briana Kepner
Yarn: Wool of the Andes Tweed
Step into fall with a classic style duster, but with stripes. The Striped Shortbread Duster can be made in three of your favorite colors. What makes a duster different from a cardigan is the length. Dusters first popped up over a century ago and have recently made their way back into the fashion trend. It’s a great addition to an outfit and can add some warmth for the legs against the winter wind chills.

BREDELE CROPPED VEST by Pamela Stark
Yarn: Swish Worsted
The Bredele Cropped Vest is a fun and unexpected garment to add to your winter wardrobe. This piece was designed to be slightly cropped with a cowl neck, but can easily be adjusted to your style preference. The playful fringe added on to the cowl really sets this design apart.

PIZZELLE HOODED CARDIGAN by Lorene Eppolite
Yarn: Mighty Stitch Worsted
The Pizzelle Hooded Cardigan is fabulous for those rare winter days where the weather is mild but cool and all you need is a stylish hooded sweater that you can easily put on and take off. Made with the beautiful and textured Herringbone HDC stitch, this Pizzelle Hooded Cardigan will work up easily. The cardigan features ribbing designs on the sleeves to create a pouf look or to keep your sleeves in place. With the added hood and braided icord design, you’ll have a stylish looking cardigan for those slightly breezy days.

COCONUT MACAROON SWEATER DRESS by Michelle Moore
Yarn: Wool of the Andes Tweed
The Coconut Macaroon Sweater Dress will become your favorite winter staple. Dress it up with a pair of heels or dress it down and layer over leggings. Easily customize the length to your taste and emphasize a tiny waist with a belt. The exquisite braided cable is worked down the centre of the dress to draw the eye vertically, creating a slimming effect. Don’t be intimidated by those cables; a video tutorial is included.

GINGERSNAP PULLOVER by Briana Kepner
Yarn: Brava Worsted
A soft and cozy pullover in the season’s trendiest colors. Create your own color combination or follow along with our winter palette. The Gingersnap pullover has a knit-look ribbed neck with a moss patterned stitch for the body.

AMERETTI BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN by Lorene Eppolite
Yarn: Mighty Stitch Worsted
Grab your Amaretti Boyfriend Sweater for those slightly cool days where just needing a sweater for the day is perfect. You’ll love the length of this sweater that falls right at your hips for a trendy look. The unique shell stitch combination used adds a lovely texture and design to the top that’s eye-catching. With this easy working sweater, you’ll have a cute Amaretti Boyfriend Sweater in no time.

Companion Guides
For each issue of Crochet Foundry Magazine, we have incredible (and helpful!) companion guides. Read on to learn more about them.
#1 – CUSTOM FIT COMPANION GUIDE

The Team at Crochet Foundry knows that the ability to customize your clothing is one of the most appealing reasons to crochet your own wearables! With that in mind, we have designed this easy guide for you to refer to when deciding how to best create each garment for your perfect fit.
#2 – STYLE COMPANION GUIDE
The weather is colder, and we are so ready to start wearing all the cozy sweaters we spent so many hours making. We spent lots of time choosing the perfect yarn to pair with the perfect pattern. We gauge swatched, crocheted, frogged, maybe changed the yarn, crocheted some more, fastened off, and blocked. We are so excited to finally wear our labor of love! But what exactly should we wear it with?
No worries, friends! We have your back.
The Crochet Foundry team has put together styling tips on how to get the most out of your newly finished project garment! Use the table of contents alongside to read advice from each designer, specific to their design. We hope this inspires or helps you to find new ways to wear, accessorize, and enjoy all of your hard work. We want you to LOVE what you make from this magazine. Not to mention, there’s nothing better than when someone compliments your new sweater, and you get to reply, “thank you, I made it myself.”
#3 – GAUGE GUIDE

Gauge Matters. And most of all, when you are making something wearable! The Team at Crochet Foundry has written a comprehensive guide to help you figure out gauge.
WHY?
Because your time is precious! Taking the time to make an accurate gauge swatch allows you to see if the hook and yarn you chose for your project will give you the correct finished measurements according to the designer’s instructions.
Not only that, but it allows you to see if the yarn you chose will give you the desired drape once your project is complete! This is especially important if you decided to use a different yarn than the one used in the designer’s sample.

New PATTERN – Maple Toffee Pullover

Maple Toffee Pullover pattern by Pamela Stark
Easy to make and easier to wear, the Maple Toffee Pullover is a classic design with a fun twist. This raglan style sweater is made using the extended single crochet stitch. This means it’s not only easy to crochet but creates a beautifully simple texture. The extended cuffs pull in the sleeves at the elbow, creating a gentle puff sleeve that greatly impacts!
