Whether you’re new to our magazine or have been with us for a while, you’re bound to discover some favorites in this hand-picked list from the editors of I Like Crochet.

Welcome to the December 2020 edition of I Like Crochet! It’s hard to believe winter is setting in. But as we watch the leaves change from vibrant green to rich reds and deep oranges, and we look ahead to the frosty mornings of the next few months, there’s some definite excitement in the air. Why?

‘Tis the season of handmade scarves and Merino wool shawls. It’s time to enjoy the cozy contentment that comes with hats, mittens, and slippers made by hand. In fact, “cozy” and “comforting” are the two words that guide this issue of I Like Crochet!

You’ll find more than 40 patterns hand-picked by our editors that are perfect for gift giving – and for keeping for yourself. No matter your skill level or budget, there’s something in this curated collection for you. Try the one-skein Mallory Chenille Infinity Cowl for something budget-friendly and beginner-friendly. Or take on a bigger challenge with the Blue Sage Hooded Shawl, from designer Olivia Kent.

There are gifts for the home, too, like the Verde Velvet Pillow, which is every bit as luxurious as it sounds. Bring some cabin chic into your home with the Perfectly Plaid Basket in red and black.

The December 2020 issue of I Like Crochet features dozens of patterns and projects that will help you turn cold into cozy anytime you feel like picking up your yarn. And don’t forget, your I Like Crochet Gold Club Charter Membership gives you instant access to our complete library of patterns and special collections like The Festive Christmas Crochet Collection, and The Ultimate Scarf Collection, along with more than 700 patterns, video tutorials, and so much more.

Whether you want to cuddle up with a new project or challenge yourself with an advanced pattern, your I Like Crochet Gold Club Charter Membership has what you need.

Of all the crochet patterns perfect for the little elves in our lives, the Winter Wonderland Ankle Booties might be the cutest. These booties feature a flipped over cuff, with a tiny snowflake as an adorable frosty embellishment. And the 100% Merino wool yarn makes these as cozy and comfortable as can be.

For the slightly older elves, the Northwoods Toddler Poncho can’t be beat. The ombre gradient of the wool/acrylic blend yarn in Cranberry and Black creates the feel of buffalo plaid without having to use multiple yarn colors. This subtly textured poncho is just the thing to keep busy toddlers warm when the temperature drops.

Grown up elves need to stay warm, too, and the December 2020 issue of I Like Crochet has just the thing. The Juniper Hooded Scarf features crocheted cables, bringing eye-catching texture to this piece. It’s easier than it looks, too. You make the scarf as one straight piece, then sew up the center to make a hood. Of course, that means you can also make this without the hood. Either way, it’s the accessory you won’t want to leave home without this winter.

The Darling & Dotted Hat is another project that brings together luxurious comfort and chic design. After all, who doesn’t love polka dots? Delicate pink puff stitches adorn this otherwise simple hat for a neutral-toned accessory that will match just about any coat in your closet.

If you prefer something a little lighter for those winter warm spells, the Fiona Chenille Headband from Karen von Kluge is as comfortable and easy as it gets. The simple Tunisian crochet stitch is reversible and uniquely plush for the ultimate in soft and smooth.

Your December 2020 issue of I Like Crochet includes detailed instructions and full-color pictures for all of these patterns, along with plenty more all-new projects that beginners and experienced crochet lovers will enjoy.
