This rich yet classic shade, which evokes hues of chocolate and coffee, inspires a feeling of wellness and comfort. Meanwhile, over at Dulux HQ, the colour of choice for this year is True Joy, a positive and uplifting yellow hue that’s all about bringing statement shades and pops of happy colour into your life.

While these colour choices may seem to be on opposite ends of the colour spectrum, these warm shades work wonders with other earthy shades or gentle neutrals, and new colour trends can offer fabulous inspiration for some fresh and exciting yarn colour combinations for home and garment crochet projects too.

To inspire you, we’ve found some of our favourite Inside Crochet patterns that are right on-trend for 2025’s hottest shades. For your home, the Library Blanket (issue 146) creates a traditional woven-look with earthy shades. For pieces that add a splash of on-trend colour, try the stylish Anfa Dickie in a gorgeous shade of gold (issue 143) or the Blickling Shawlette (issue 172). For mocha tones, try the Furry Patch Bag, a brilliant way to bring in brown without being drab (issue 144), or wear the fabulous Balmoral Waistcoat as a vintage-inspired layering piece.

One of our favourite yellows of recent issues was the She Sells Seashells Cardigan (issue 162) in a stunning Goldenrod shade, while issue 165 abounded with rich browns and spice-infused shades, from the Turmeric Sweater to the Cinnamon Cardigan. For a cool approach to working with shades of brown, try the Ombré Sweater with its blocks of gradient neutrals and modern boxy shape (issue 164).
