When I was pregnant with my son in 2017, I really wanted to create something unique for him. I knitted a white blanket, but I wanted to add some embellishments to it, so I looked online for crocheted borders. I loved the look of them, so I decided to try it from a video tutorial. I didn’t start with the easiest option as beginners do, but maybe that was my way to properly jump into it. After picking up the hook to make baby items for my son, I was soon hooked on crochet and then realised that I could make my own patterns too. Inspiration is everywhere I go, especially in the natural forms that are around me as I go about my daily life. I love working with…

OVER SO EASY Details on this tunic, such as the neat V-neck, short sleeves and longer hem at the back, mean this looks smart indoors as well as out. BAND AGAINST COLD Part hippie chic, part Björn Borg cool, the woolly headband is another option for chill-busting headwear. The chunky cable will help keep the cold at bay. RIVERS OF CREAM Running through this scarf are flowing cabled patterns that pour off the end in pretty fringes. Perhaps a warm dessert is needed for all this cream? FAN OF CREAM CABLES Nothing says classic cold weather accessory than a cable bobble hat. It will go with everything, so make this the first year of the many happily hatted to come.

Wulla was started by Caz after learning to spin seven years ago. Being a handy, crafty person in her hobbies and working life (Caz was previously a fine art conservator/restorer) dyeing the yarn herself was the next logical step. After encouragement from some yarny friends she decided to sell her yarn before it took over her house. WHAT IS IN A NAME? Caz finds choosing the names of her yarn quite difficult, so delves into music or other interests for inspiration. “I had a whole range using obscure cocktail names that matched the yarn colour, although I don’t always feel that a name needs to reflect the colour of the yarn. I usually like a name that raises a smile or a giggle. I love mid-century modernist design, contemporary art,…

This cushion is called White Horses, and is my treasured project. It was designed with a lovely colour gradient to resemble the white peaks of waves (the ‘white horses’) crashing to shore. This was the first pattern I ever had published and it gave me confidence to build a small business designing crochet patterns. I first tried crochet when I was very small with my grandma. She taught me how to do a chain stitch and I spent many happy hours making doilies, which on reflection looked a bit more like tangled spaghetti, but I was having a great time! Like many people, there was a big gap between these first experiences and the next time I picked up a hook as an adult, with my mother-in-law ably teaching me…

Crochet-alongs aka CALs are an event that brings together numerous makers to crochet a project in tandem. A uniting and somewhat social activity, they are more popular than ever at the moment and with good reason. As more and more independent designers are releasing their own crochet-alongs, we thought we’d shine a spotlight on a few of our favourite makers to see what makes this activity so special. GETTING STARTED Heather Gibbs published her first crochet-along in 2015, inspired by one of Moogly’s CALs from the previous year. “I know myself well and knew the only way that I would ever keep up to date with a CAL was to run one myself,” says Heather. “And it worked! What’s more, lots of people decided to crochet-along with me – I…

If you’ve come across the instruction ‘tr2tog’ or ‘2trtog’ in a crochet pattern and wondered what on Earth that meant, you’ve come to the right place! These two shorthand abbreviations mean the same thing: ‘treble two stitches together’ or ‘work two treble stitches together’. Working two stitches together creates a decrease in the fabric, reducing your stitch count and making the decrease row narrower than the row before. The effect on the fabric can vary from a slight tapering to a drastic cinching, depending on how many decreases you work on the same row and where you place them. The pattern you’re following should tell you exactly where to work the decreases. Being able to make a neat decrease is great know-how for creating all sorts of shapes and exciting…
