Inside Crochet - 156

You might get a little inkling that we’ve had a productive month at Inside Crochet, dedicating the issue to fresh starts and new beginnings in our homes and gardens. There’s more than a hint of floral fun too!

Our cover star, the beautiful Lavanda Jumper by Yessabett Bueno with its stunning yoke detail, is a really gorgeous make to see you through the seasons, whilst Linda Modderman’s dreamy Rose Sweater with its clever tapestry motif is a muted, subtle pattern for romantics everywhere. Clever cables abound in Simone Francis’ Snowdrop Gauntlets, and if you pair them with the fabulous Log Cabin Poncho by Theodora Burrow you’ll be super-cosy.

Everlasting flowers are sprouting everywhere with our wonderful Grow Your Own Blanket, clever Daisy Chain Cushion and the elegant embroidered basket set by Anna Nikipirowicz. For those of you patiently waiting for this month’s Spirit of Flora instalment, have a little look below at the incredible Tudor Rose motif. It is simply stunning.

For veggie lovers – if you’ve got time to look up from frantic seed sowing – then you’ll be delighted with Kwannie Cheng’s pretty and practical storage bags, or Claire Montgomerie’s perfectly imperfect organic play veg for the little ones.

Inspired by the sense of community that our CAL is fostering, Lindsey Harrad explores the special bond our craft can nurture, with ways we can contribute via crochet to making the world just a little bit better, one stitch at a time.
