Frilled to bits!

Crochet is brilliant at bringing people together, and to celebrate just that we are thrilled to launch our first Hook ’n’ Learn blanket on page 47. (Find out more about CALs in general on page 66, and how they help us design, focus… and socialise!) We’re also fully embracing our love of ruffles – they’re everywhere this year and we’ve given them a chic makeover, starting on page 14. If amigurumi is more your thing (or you’re looking for a project to delight a small person), turn to page 36 and get your hooks into the monstrous, glorious Mr Blue.
