I loved the Crochet Slippers:

So I immediately grabbed my new
favorite color of
Noro Kureyon and worked up a pair of these. They're a perfect summer adaptation of warm wooly
slippers!

I love the Crochet Throw made of hexagon shapes.

This is a perfect crochet pattern alternative to the
Modular Afghan that I love so much from the
Knit Noro book.
I already have some favorite colors of
Noro Silk Garden
picked out for the Checkerboard Cap.

All you need is 1 skein each of 2 different colors of
Noro Silk Garden yarn
for this simple color work hat.
And, it you're inclined to begin your Holiday Knitting in
July, then you might want to take a look at these classic hats: the Man's
Slouchy Hat and the Man's Ribbed Hat.

Each hat can be
done with just 2 skeins of
Kureyon (1 skein each of 2 different colors). I think they are perfect designs that anyone
would love to receive as a gift this winter.
The Cropped Jacket features a wonderful construction that
shows off the Noro colors so well!

The pattern
calls for 984 yards color A and 656 yards color B Silk Garden Sock. We no longer stock the Silk Garden Sock, so have already helped some people choose from
the colors of
Taiyo Sock yarn so they could get started on this one right away in time to wear for late
summer!
I hope this magazine inspires you to pick up some new
colorful knitting or crochet projects too!
