Inside Crochet - 177

How do you spend your weekend? Brunching with friends, pottering about the house or curled up with a crochet project? Here at Inside Crochet HQ we’re all about that laid-back feeling, so this issue is packed with projects to ease you into a long weekend – whether it’s an Easter get-together with family and friends or a breezy bimble in the garden.

I love a project that can be made in a weekend, so I’ll be hooking up Fay Dashper-Hughes’s beautiful Wave Hello Shawlette, made in a gorgeous bouclé yarn. I also love Millie Masterton’s Bloom Beret – a great way to use up some stash yarn or show off some favourite colours for spring. Talking of spring colours, I’m obsessed with the beautiful quilt-style table runner and placemats by Kwannie Cheng, hooked up in soft greens and pinks to celebrate the season.

For your weekend wardrobe, the star of the show has to be Sam Sabido’s Spring Sunshine Jacket – a design just blooming with colour! I also really like garments that work dressed up or down, and the Frills for Days Camisole by Theodora Burrow ticks both boxes.

If you’re heading away, then you’ll be needing Jenny Street’s Macaron Pouch – which does double duty as a pretty clutch or make-up bag – and the fabulous Daisy Holdall by Jess Bennett, a fun market bag for your shopping excursions.

However you spend ‘Le Weekend’, have fun hooking!
