Unplug, unwind, and bring back the charm of a classic print experience with Crochet Nation. Delivered straight to your door, this beautifully curated newspaper is packed with inspiration, creativity, and, of course, crochet!

WHAT’S INSIDE ISSUE 1?

  • You’re three rows into a baby blanket when you realize the heart isn’t centered. Colorwork shouldn’t come with panic. On page 6, the Heart Graphgan walks you through a row-by-row guide—plus a clever yarn management trick to avoid tangles mid-design.
  • There’s nothing worse than gifting a handmade piece... and getting a shrug in return. On page 18, Grandma Ange sets the record straight: who you crochet for matters—and she’ll tell you exactly how to keep your yarn joy sacred.
  • Not every yarn deserves to live on your shelf forever. That “too pretty to use” skein? On page 18, you’ll learn how to swatch, play, and finally use it—with zero guilt and total joy.
  • Blocking is the difference between “I made this” and “Where’d you buy that?” Page 11 breaks down exactly when to block, how to do it for every fiber type, and why it matters more than you think—especially for wearables.
  • Feel like everything you make curls at the edges, droops at the seams, or won’t hold its shape?There’s a fix—and it starts with fiber. Page 11 shows you how to match project to yarn (and stop wasting your time on materials that betray you).
  • Did you know fiber arts saved lives? On page 5, you’ll uncover how yarn and hooks were used to smuggle intelligence during WWII. Resistance fighters dropped stitches on purpose—to encode messages that helped win the war.
  • Nothing kills momentum like a pattern with vague instructions.The Ombré Textured Blanket on page 4 gives you crystal-clear rows, visual texture, and a soothing rhythm—plus tassel instructions that don’t skip steps.
  • Irish lace wasn’t just for decoration—it was survival. Page 8 uncovers the story of women who crocheted their way through famine, and how their patterns still bring dignity, elegance, and connection to modern projects.
  • You've got the yarn, the hook, and the pattern—but your cowl still looks a little… off.The Button-Up Cowl on page 9 solves that with polished stitch structure, a no-math fit, and a two-button closure that flatters every neckline.
  • Cute shouldn’t mean complicated.Page 12’s Tessa the Tulip pattern is sculptural, sweet, and surprisingly beginner-friendly—with step-by-step assembly and even a matching card.
  • The fastest way to ruin a great project? Skipping the blocking. Don’t guess—page 11 shows you how to steam, soak, or spray-block based on your yarn type, and explains which projects don’t need it at all.
  • What do dropped stitches, hidden codes, and a dead society woman have in common? Page 15 launches Stitches of Deception—a crochet mystery where every motif could be a clue (and every project might be a trap).
  • Not every project needs to take three weeks and $60 in yarn. On page 2, the Random Act of Crochet Kindness Heart takes 10 minutes and a scrap ball—but might just change someone’s day.
  • Crocheting faster doesn’t make you better. Finishing something does.The Elizabeth Stitch Gloves on page 10 give you the confidence to finish—with a smart cuff design and built-in thumb space that avoids the usual bulk.
  • Some stitches are relaxing. Some are just repetitive.Page 4’s ombré blanket solves the boredom with alternating texture stripes—berry stitch, ribbing, and waistcoat stitch—to keep your hands happy and your mind engaged.
  • Wish crochet magazines came with humor, heart, and puzzles too? From Mad Libs (page 19) to a crossword made for yarn nerds (page 20), Crochet Nation is the only paper that feeds your whole maker brain.

Really enjoying my gardening magazine and looking forward to the next issue. Fall is my favorite time of year and this issue has reinforced and confirmed things that l already do and has given me some new ideas. I love to plant and watch things grow. I grew up on a farm so gardening is in my DNA.

I love it being a print paper that I can carry with me to read. I haven’t finished the puzzles yet. It has inspired me to get back to thinking about our winter garden. It’s still really hot here in Texas but this has gotten me planning for Fall.

I love the depth of the articles. I share the newspapers with my 90 year old Mother and she loves it too. I appreciate that it's something I can read that's not on a screen. I can tell already I'll be saving them to refer to throughout the gardening season.

It was a wonderful birthday present for my wife! She loved it!

Knit Nation • Issue 4

I’m learning so much. And I really appreciate that. It’s a paper newsletter and not electronic. I’m an older gardener and I like reading and highlighting what I want to remember.

Gardening Nation • Issue 1

I have only received one issue but I am really looking forward to the second issue which is on the way. I haven't made any of the patterns yet, but I know that I will. It's a great paper. I like the games as well as the patterns. Glad I subscribed.

I love the magazine. I’m also love the crochet nation and the knitting nation. I think they are all three fantastic. I have every copy of the crochet and knitting nation, and I would like to have a complete copy from number one through the current month for the history nation if it’s possible, let me know and I will pay you for them. I think they are fantastic. Keep up the great work.

History Nation • Issue 1

I like history so I am enjoying the history paper immensely. I like the information for the different years from the very, very early years to more modern history. I liked reading about the Roman Empire and could see similarities between then and what is happening in the country now. History does repeat itself and this country should learn from that history.

I'm one who loves physical versions of my crochet patterns and never really know what to do next. When I got my first crochet nation newspaper in the mail I really fell in love. Not only are there puzzles for me to do inbetween my crochet breaks but the different articles really catch my attention. I don't know many other people who crochet so the tips/advice that are in the different articles really help me out too. I'm looking forward to my next one and can't wait to see what it all includes. I'm definitely going to have a newspaper collection because I can't see myself ever getting rid of these.

It’s really nice to have a knit newspaper, and more than just patterns but stories, knitting history and fun facts, added extras that magazines don’t always cover and some I’ve not seen at all in knit magazines. I enjoy the grandma stories. They also have kint crosswords for those who enjoy. Good patterns from known designers. I recommend to at least get one to see what it’s like, you may get hooked.

This newspaper is so informative, thoughtfully put together, and fun to read!

Gardening Nation • Issue 4

I like the patterns in the newsletter, but I wish there were more patterns for household things like dishcloths, decorative towels, and toys for children. I do like the comic and mystery story a lot.

Crochet Nation • Issue 18

This issue had gotten lost in the mail and when I reached out about it, I was promptly sent another one. I really enjoy this publication and learn something new with each issue.

Knit Nation • Issue 15

It's a great resource and many of the articles serve as solid reminders of what it's time to do. I'm a moderately experienced gardener, not a novice but by no means an expert, and found most of the info gauged pretty appropriately for me. It's a beautiful publication, with color throughout. Good writing and terrific editing. I worked in newspapers for 25 years and have some idea of the work and talent behind the publication, and I'm impressed and delighted!

Gardening Nation $12.95 Monthly

I really enjoy receiving the “Crochet Nation” newspaper. I enjoy the articles, horoscopes and games. But mostly, I enjoy the many patterns included in the paper. The instructions are great and describe how to work each stich required in the pattern. I look forward to receiving my paper every month! Glenda Fritz, La Plata, MD
