Lean in to slower, wintry days to pause, and hibernate with your hook. We’ve got some beautifully soft and gentle projects that will help restore your inner balance.
The Yantra Leg Warmers by Jess Bennett would be a great start – perfect for at-home relaxing or to keep the cosy glow on the school run – as would Katherine Laight’s beautiful Meditate Mitts. For a wonderfully soothing pattern, Cassie Ward’s Retreat Cardigan features a delicate lace row that lends it a lovely drape – ideal for sofa snuggling or elegant workwear.
Fay Dashper-Hughes’s gorgeously soft Halo Cowl has been cleverly designed in two versions: a long cowl for wrapping around your neck, and a shorter, deeper version for a snugger fit. Pretty and practical, the Bonbon Bouclé Pouch by Zoe Curtis is a beautiful confection of bouclé yarns by Isager that will work as a pencil case, make-up bag or notions pouch.
This issue also features our new regular column from renowned crochet designer Jane Crowfoot – packed with her inspirational ideas and handy tips.
