What’s Inside Issue 3?
-
Your blanket edges are wavy, your tension’s a mess, and you’re wondering if crochet just isn’t for you. Page 4’s Beginner’s Corner doesn’t just show you how to fix it—it explains exactly why your stitches misbehave and how to adjust without starting over.
-
Ever spent hours on a gift that didn’t get the reaction you hoped for? The Sweater Curse exposé on page 14 will make you laugh, cringe, and think twice before crocheting your next “surprise” sweater.
-
Before the 1930s, full-size crochet blankets were almost nonexistent. Page 6 explains why, how synthetics changed everything, and what this means for your next big project.
-
Think cables are only for knitting? Page 11’s Cable Beanie Hat shows you how to fake knit cables with front post stitches—and still finish before the snow melts.
-
YouTube made learning easier—but it was never the same as flipping through a real crochet magazine with your mom. Page 17’s Print History Deep Dive brings back that tactile magic—no autoplay ads, no pop-ups, just stitches, stories, and nostalgia.
-
New to amigurumi but want to wow someone with something adorable? Page 12’s Flicker the Cake is ridiculously cute, surprisingly beginner-friendly, and comes with bonus sprinkle instructions.
-
Stitch fast or stitch fancy? Why not both? Page 18 reveals how the world’s fastest crocheters hit 170 stitches per minute—and the exact technique you can try at home to boost your speed.
-
You bought the hand-dyed yarn. You saved it for years. You still haven’t used it. On page 22, Toni Lipsey says what we’re all thinking: yarn is meant to be used—not hoarded. (And yes, you have permission to start now).
-
Your cowl curls. Your edges bulge. It never looks like the photo. Page 9’s Modern Cowl works with self-striping yarn, uses just one row, and includes a seaming trick for a perfect finish every time.
-
Pattern instructions still feel like a foreign language? On page 15, Grandma Ange decodes the code. Her “highlight, translate, replay” method makes patterns readable—even for total beginners.
-
Want a storage solution that actually looks good on a shelf? The Geometric Basket on page 7 blends colorwork, functionality, and handles you don’t have to fake-smile at.
-
You’ve been told crochet’s relaxing—but no one talks about the rage of color panic. On page 15, Grandma Ange shares her dead-simple formula for picking palettes without the Pinterest spiral
