Inside Crochet - 170

For me, the sounds of summer are the hum of a lawnmower, the thwack of leather on willow from a cricket match, and the gentle tinkle of tunes from a distant ice-cream van. These are all such nostalgic sounds and something about the heat, the smell of a lit barbecue and the sticky sensation of sun screen all conjure the feeling of summers over the years. However, as we know, it’s also the time to enjoy music under the wide expanse of summer sky!

Whether you prefer to wave a giant flag at a huge, televised music festival or gently sip Pimm’s from a deckchair at Last Night of the Proms, boy, do we have an issue of Inside Crochet for you. For the festival fashionista, the Antoni Shirt and Pick ’n’ Mix Vest and Skirt by Cassie Ward have all the bases covered and would be perfectly accessorised by literally any of our fab embellishments!

Millie Masterton’s floral crown and welly decor combo would brighten the drabbest of days, Theodora Burrow’s bucket hat will keep sunburn at bay, while Zoe Curtis’s Geo Bum Bag shows how versatile crochet can be.

Family-friendly festivals are everywhere too this year, so don’t forget the little ones in your life. The Starman Sequin Cape is the ultimate accessory for budding Bowies, and my Rainbow Ra-ra Skirt is a firm favourite, as you can see from my daughter’s fun time at the photoshoot!

So whether you’re under the dome of the Royal Albert Hall or the twinkling stars in a park, this issue of Inside Crochet has something for everyone.
