Whether you’re stitching for yourself or creating something meant to be admired, this issue offers a thoughtful mix of creativity and practicality.
You’ll find projects that play beautifully with color and stitch pattern, including a relaxed wrap that combines a versatile gray base with vibrant flashes of pink and blue. For your home, a scalloped raffia tray introduces natural texture and modern style, proving that crochet can be as functional as it is decorative. These pieces are approachable, rewarding and perfect for makers who love watching texture build row by row.
Floral motifs take center stage throughout the issue, appearing in both statement pieces and refined details. A striking medallion afghan blends lace, granny squares, and clever shaping for a show-stopping result, while an elegant shawl uses floral filet panels and soft fringe to create a piece that feels timeless yet wearable. Rounding out the collection is a cropped cardigan rich with cable texture, offering a polished layer that works just as well over dresses as it does with everyday denim.
