🧶 What’s Inside Issue 5?
Your blanket is flat, your rows are fine—but your color changes still look messy. Page 3’s tutorial walks you through two seamless color-change techniques—because you shouldn’t need to frog half a project just to hide a stripe line.
Before ergonomic hooks, there were gold-collared ivory hooks - Page 6 reveals the origin story of the crochet hook, from hand-carved pearl tools to glow-in-the-dark ergonomic grips.
Your gauge swatch lies. Your sleeves sag. Your cardigan wears like armor - Page 11’s Drape Physics explainer shows exactly why stitches behave the way they do—and how to finally choose yarn that flows instead of flops.
Two words: color pooling - Page 4’s Shifting Squares Blanket teaches you how to work controlled illusions in a single panel—no sewing, no overlays, just mind-blowing geometry.
You changed yarns without checking the label. Now your hat fits your dog - On page 19, designer Cheryl Bennett breaks down yarn substitution without the stress—with tips on gauge, texture, and how to swap smartly.
Crochet that makes strangers smile? Yes, please - London Kaye’s story on page 14 proves that a little yarn + a fence = unexpected delight—and includes a free pattern to try your own “LOVE” tree wrap this weekend
Acadia Sunrise Shoulder Bag : Page 8’s Acadia Sunrise Shoulder Bag uses modular blocks and color spirals to create structure with flair.
You got sunburned. Your crojo disappeared. Your WIP is stuck at row 2 - Page 18’s summer survival guide from Grandma Ange includes quick project ideas, hydration reminders, and permission to pause.
The “Just one more row…” Myth - Page 18’s Misadventures in Crochet Nation comic reveals the late-night WIP spiral all too many of us know—and how to laugh our way out of it.
There’s a traitor at Wycliffe Manor - Page 20’s latest installment of Stitches of Deception escalates the mystery with lace maps, smugglers, and a new coded message stitched in betrayal.
Need a beach project that packs light and finishes beautifully? The Beach Towel on page 7 uses bold chevrons, easy repeats, and cotton yarn for something both functional and beautiful—with optional tassels, just for fun.
Love a good stash-buster? Tamara Kelly’s Crochet Scrunchie on page 7 turns just 50g of yarn into a bright, bouncy hair accessory you’ll actually wear. It’s quick, clever, and satisfying.
Looking for something adorable that fits in the palm of your hand? Page 12’s Amigurumi Monkey is beginner-friendly and packed with charm—complete with optional wire tail and sweet embroidery details for extra personality.
