Inside Crochet - 130

Welcome to our bright and twinkling Christmas issue! Taking inspiration

from Russian fairytales, we’ve put together a magazine packed with really cosy garments, quick-make accessories and beautiful decorations that we hope will become much-loved heirloom pieces.

Kwannie Cheng’s fabulous wreath displays elements from folklore,

whilst Yessabett Bueno’s baubles shimmer with delicate snowfl akes and Emma Leith’s garland will make any mantle shine.

We’re also delighted to share a beading masterclass from Jane Crowfoot this month in our exclusive coverbook. If you are new to adding beads to your crochet then Jane’s tutorial will show you everything you need to know and you can then hook her stunning collection of decorations. With those techniques you’ll also be able to create Anna Nikipirowicz’s motif wrap and Helda Panagary’s delicate fuchsia shawl.

Handmade gifts are perfect for showing how much you care, and our cosy Anna Hat, snuggly Snefnug Scarf and quick-make Natasha Cowl are sure to be appreciated. If you have more time to devote then Jo Smith’s glorious Twinkling Stars Blanket is just the burst of joyous Christmas colour we all need!

From the whole team here, we wish you a very warm, safe and happy Christmas.
