Inside Crochet - 122

Well hello there! Welcome to this month’s treasure trove of crochet designs, packed with rainbow brights and graphic patterns. And join our creative party to banish winter blues and welcome in the spring with a fiesta of colour, shapes, pom-poms and all manner of yarny goodness!

For an instant fix of sheer joy may we recommend Helda Panagary’s radiant Chromotherapy Wrap – literally a rainbow of a hug on a cold day! The happy colour vibe continues with Cassie Ward’s nod to the ’60s with her bright Twiggy Dress and of course our gorgeous cover project, the Open Grid Sweater by Claire Montgomerie which uses delicious Eden Cottage Yarns to create a stunning ombré effect.

Also making a statement this issue are some eye-catching graphic designs. Fran Morgan’s stunning Mosaic Jacket and Emily Platt’s checkerboard Monochrome Jumper both use a limited colour palette to emphasise their bang-on-trend patternwork, whist Rosina Northcott went bold with both colour and pattern, and has created the most wonderful Colourblock Shawl using the lovely Coop Knits Socks Yeah! yarn.

And of course we’ve been bitten – just a little – by the spring cleaning bug, so as the clutter gets cleared why not treat your home to a few new pops of colour? There’s Sarah Shrimpton’s clever Chevron Blanket and our bold collection of cushions, and if you really want to go all out to banish the gloom, may we suggest Matt’s “you can’t get more kitsch than this” bathroom pal…

Have fun!
