Crochet Now 93 - On Sale 30th March
Hopefully by now it’s starting to warm up wherever you are and we can truly start to welcome in spring, with brighter days, shorter nights, and explosions of colour all around! As much as I love to hibernate in the winter, it is around this time of year that I am just ready for spring. What better way to celebrate the changing seasons than with a brand-new issue of Crochet Now?
Why not refresh your spring wardrobe with the Maria Top – a luxurious cotton and cashmere top with delicate lace sleeves that is deceptively simple to hook up. If you’re not quite ready to transition to crochet tees just yet, the Cahore Cardigan is a great budget choice for you using DROPS yarn. So too are the Spring Pastel Wrist Warmers that use lovely soft West Yorkshire Spinners baby yarn for a cosy accessory.
This issue’s guest star is Sooty and the gang in the Super Squares Sooty Blanket – hook up Sooty and his iconic magic wand in this charming baby blanket, and personalise your version with our alternative Sweep and Soo square designs too. You can also give your home a spring refresh with a whole host of home décor ideas – from a tear drop hanging basket to a creative cushion, and a floral wall-hanging to stunning blankets.
I’m really excited about this issue’s crochet treat and the potential for what designs you can work up for your home with it! Your crochet macrame kit is easy to use with our two different designs for wall hangings on. Or, if you want to go for something unique, start with a different mandala – you can find plenty of inspiration for where to begin. Once you’re finished, you’ve got a lovely new soft-grip crochet hook to keep too!
Blanket fans are also going to be really excited with our exclusive Slumber Party Crochet Collection from the talented folk at Bernat! I personally can’t wait to snuggle up into a crocheted slice of pizza.
