Summer is here! Isn’t it?! Well, even if you’re lacking the sunshine this time of year brings, this issue of Inside Crochet will certainly brighten your day. So pour yourself a mocktail and jump on in!
We have everything from quick and simple garments for lounging around the pool, to fabulous bold and graphic homewares like Kath Webber's Splash! Wallhanging, as well as cute amigurumi in Amy Ting’s gorgeous wee lifeguard rabbit.
Claire Montgomerie’s masterclass is a brilliant one, showing how to crochet the corner-to-corner stitch, also known as diagonal box stitch. This technique is ideal for those adventurous beginners looking to add to their own stitch bible and invites really innovative use of colour, as shown in Claire’s top design.
Another of our favourite things about this issue is the invitation to bust that stash. Lucy Djevdet, Victoria Kairis and Millie Masterton have got us covered with their camera and bag strap, ice lolly amigurumi and embellished flip-flops, respectively.
So even if the only pool you get to visit this year is the local leisure centre, this issue will transport your to that infinity pool with the swim-up tiki bar of your dreams! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and don’t forget the SPF50…
