Summer hooking

The British summer often takes a while to get going – but with temperatures finally rising, pub gardens filling and weekend trips to the beach now a tantalisingly real possibility, it’s time to hurtle headlong into our summer crochet. Put your half-finished woolly jumpers away until autumn and bring on the cool cotton tops, bright and colourful beachwear and lace wraps perfect for long summer evenings.
Yarn brand DMC has launched a new selection of summer crochet designs that make the most of its colourful natural fibre yarns. With a theme of “Festivals, Vacations and Staycations”, our favourites include gorgeous floaty, lacy tops and cover-ups in the pure cotton Natura yarns, as well as colourful beach bags and chunky beach-themed accessories and homewares in Natura XL. Just the thing for hooking by a evening barbecue in the garden… www.dmccreative.co.uk
