Lets take a look inside The best of Azteca pattern book R-4
A collection of 20 designs to knit & crochet using the Katia Azteca yarn, a wool blend aran weight yarn.
This publication includes designs for ladies, men & children too including some accessories
How about this crochet hat and scarf & there is a bag too
all of these crochet designs are based on the granny treble stitch but are very effective.
the next picture features a gents cardigan in a textured stitch and a ladies jumper knitted in 2 shades of Azteca
Please be aware that yarn colours come and go so although your chosen shade may not be available anymore, there are still some gorgeous shades to choose from .
the above design is for children from 4 to 12 years
and below a sweet dress to fit from 2 to 10 years
and such a pretty crochet scarf with the tassels, could easily be adapted to a bigger scarf for an adult, and I just love this coat ... see below
instructions included for sizes from UK 8-10 up to 20-22 and a gorgeous crochet hat too.
