| Lovely, light & lacy! Get all these creative crochet projects and more when you become an I Like Crochet Gold Member! Dear Crochet Friend, Spring is finally here, and we're all about light and lacy, from casual to dressy to cozy. There's plenty to choose from in the April issue of I Like Crochet with dozens of lacy projects to inspire you! But let's start with a little fun. If you love the sparkle and shine of geodes, why not make your own? Presenting Two-Hour Aurora Crochet Geodes (featured on our cover). Work these decorative beauties with metallic threads and shimmering beads, and you'll have glittering décor to add to a shelf, table — or gift bag! The pattern has two sizes and five inspiring color palettes! Dress up a planter or make a new basket with our Shellweave Basket Cozy. An easy two-round repeat creates a beautifully textured fabric, and a decorative mesh overlay gives the basket a little extra glam. Give a plant new digs or fill the basket with rolled towels for a decorative addition to your guest bathroom. Celebrate Spring with a new dress you can make yourself! The Trinity Bloom Dress is a lovely project designed for adventurous beginners and beyond. The bodice has a boxy construction with delicate lace sleeves. Satin fabric for the skirt of the dress gives you a lovely drape that will flow as you walk. This dress is part of the Trinity in Bloom Crochet Collection, which also includes patterns for a child-size dress, a crochet necktie, and a spiffy bow tie. You can coordinate the whole family! Other patterns in this issue include the Indigolite Diamonds Shawl, Fringe Effect Tunisian Tank, and Clematis Shell Top. Light and Lacy Ah, purple — the color of royalty. This luscious color comes in a wide range of shades once reserved only for kings and queens. Well, now you can put on the mantle of royalty with our light, airy, and elegant Alexandra Floral Shawl. This flowing shawl is a parade of lacy hexagon motifs with delicate flower petals crocheted into the center of each motif. You will be the queen of all you survey when you stroll through your garden in this lovely shawl. The Royal Blooms Shawl combines shell a V-stitches to create a flowing, elegant shawl you'll want to wear all the time, just because! When the weather is cool, one simply must keep one's shoulders warm. When it comes to delicate cover-ups, we have patterns in a wide range of styles. The Dew Drops Shawl combines eyelet rows and a lacy pattern of puff stitches that come together in a beautifully detailed garment. It's so light and airy, you might forget you're wearing it — but people will notice. It's so beautiful! Our Sunset Breeze Crescent Lace Shawl features a delicate lace pattern for intermediate crocheters. Work this shawl from tip to top to create the delicate crescent shape, and add the lacy border at the end. This is bound to become your new favorite lacy layer.

Tops & More You'll look lovely in this uniquely you Darya Dip Dyed Coverup.

We include a tutorial to show you how to custom dye your squares to get a great ombre effect — starting with just one color yarn! This is an easy project you can finish in a weekend. Maybe you need something to top off an outfit at the end of the day as the cool of evening starts coming on. Our La Jolla Swoncho features a lopsided lace stitch pattern an intermediate crocheter (or an adventurous beginner!) could finish in a weekend.
