Missed out on Issue 9 of Crochet Nation? Now’s your chance to grab this back issue and dive into the magic of crochet, delivered straight to your mailbox!

Here's What's Inside Issue 9:
  • These two pretty floral squares are perfect for adding color and texture to your crochet projects. Page 4's Flower Granny Squares (designed by Claire Montgomerie) work individually or together for a full floral blanket—beginner+ level with stitch charts included.
  • Want to add color without the commitment of doing actual colorwork? Page 5's "Color Without Commitment" by Anna Leyzina teaches slip stitch surface crochet—chain stitches on top of finished fabric let you easily change or remove the design.
  • Need a hat and scarf set that's cozy, colorful, and beginner-friendly? Page 6's Magnus Hat and Scarf (designed by Meghan Ballmer) uses Lion Brand Scarfie Lite for textured ribbing worked directly into edges—no seaming required.
  • Think crochet's origins are boring European history? Page 7's "Crochet's Mysterious Beginnings: From Trade Routes to Tribal Traditions" explores theories—Arabia as trade center, South America's indigenous network, or tambour embroidery evolution—revealing crochet's rich, debated past.
  • Want a cardigan with bold color blocking that's surprisingly easy? Page 8's Jayus Cardigan (designed by Sandra Gutierrez) uses different-sized stripes for striking effect—beginner+ level, seamlessly top-down with raglan shoulder shaping and colorwork techniques that require minimal prep.
  • Stitch of the Month on Page 9: Single Crochet Ribbing Stitch. If you love the look and stretch of knit-style ribbing but want something faster for crochet, this stitch creates neat, vertical ribs with excellent elasticity—perfect for cuffs and waistbands.
  • Page 11's "Sandra Gutierrez's 6 Tips for Your First Crochet Colorwork Project" teaches: use simple swatches, take achievable first steps, make wise yarn choices (smooth fibers), have fun choosing colors, remember working flat isn't always easier, and stay organized with leftover yarn.
  • You work these socks starting at the toe in a spiral, before switching to rows for the heel. Page 12's Nordic Socks (designed by Vita Apala) are intermediate level, easily adjustable length, perfect for boys and girls.
  • Page 13's Stitch of the Month: Single Crochet Ribbing Stitch. Quick, rhythmic, and useful—it gives crochet projects a polished, professional finish that's still easy enough for beginners, whether you're making a ribbed scarf or adding texture to a sweater.
  • This little snail is a quick and cheerful project that's great for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike. Page 14's Mini Amigurumi Snail (designed by Julia Chiang) uses simple stitches and only a small amount of yarn.
  • Page 15: "It's Alive! Shauna Richardson's 9 Tips for Making Realistic Crochet Sculptures." Trust your instincts, start with one stitch, think in 3D, play with scale, choose yarn wisely, embrace mistakes, let personality reveal itself, plan before you start, and keep playing.
  • Peppa is a fun-loving, and sometimes mischievous, little pig. Page 16's Peppa Pig (designed by Irene Strange, provided from Crochet Peppa Pig) is beginner+ level—she's four years old, lives with Mummy and Daddy Pig, and loves jumping in muddy puddles!
  • Page 18: "Crocodiles, Crooks, and Crocheters: The Curious History of the Word 'Crochet'"The word "crochet" comes from French "little hook," which traveled into English and stuck—but trace it back and you'll find shepherds with crooked staffs and ancient Greek kroko-drilos.
  • Dear Grandma Ange returns on Page 19 with two dilemmas: What to do when you gift a baby blanket and find it stuffed in the dryer (hand-wash natural fibers, lay flat to air dry, add a cute handmade care label), and how to bounce back after frogging an entire sweater.
  • Page 20: "Witch, Please! How to Charm Your Yarn into Behaving" by Jessica Wallis. Already upside-down in a tangled web of yarn? Prevention is better than cure: wind it tight, store it right, contain your yarn in a bowl, and identify the source (usually the center snarl).

Words cannot describe how much joy this brought me! Growing up, my nana and I would always sit together and work on the fun puzzles in the newspaper. She was also the one who first taught me how to knit! This brought back so many wonderful memories and nostalgic feelings, all while combining two things that mean so much to me: those special memories with her and my current knitting obsession. Truly made my heart so happy! (:

My first issue had a pattern for a cropped bulky knit sweater in multi colors. I changed the colors a bit for my oldest granddaughter and made the sweater in two weeks. Easy pattern but fun with different colors. I have orders for two more from another granddaughter and my oldest grandson’s girlfriend. They chose their favorite color and I get to select the yarns and design. So fun!

Inspiring to see what other knitters are working on. Fun and challenging to do the puzzles. Looking forward to the next issue.

Annual Subscription • Knit Nation

Look forward to it arriving in the mail. New subscriber, have only received 2 issues, but have loved the information.

Gardening Nation • Issue 1

The issue was great as always. Thank you for your support in getting it to me.

History Nation • Issue 10

I loved taking my newspaper outside with my coffee in the morning. I'll grab a pen and make notes around information I'd like to use on my own and just enjoy the content provided on gardening in general. This newspaper was a resource as I planted some bulbs last weekend and I'll refer back to it when I'm planting garlic this weekend. Although I'm new to gardening, I find this newspaper offering gardening insights that I can absorb and implement. It's really helped gardening feel more approachable in just one month of readership! I'm excited to continue reading over the winter until I can be reunited with the soil and resume working with the earth.

I liked the information that was in the newspaper. New ideas for next years garden

I ordered this subscription to this newspaper right before moving and buying a 3 acre farm. I don’t know where it went, but I did love it when it showed up and I hope it keeps coming to me….. it’s chalk full of really good information about plants, gardening, soil, sunshine temperature all the things that affect us as enthusiastic growers

In a world where all my knitting magazines have gone digital except Rowan (2x a year), it’s so fun to get real mail that I want to spend time with. There is so much more than I ever expected in this little issue! Thank you for bringing print media back!

Annual Subscription • Knit Nation

I have just recently received my first issue and it is full of interesting articles and projects to dive into. I have not had time to start a project yet, but have earmarked several to start soon. I would highly recommend this subscription to any knitter and have actually mentioned it to several knitting friends.

Annual Subscription • Knit Nation

I loved my first edition so much. In fact I read the whole articles a couple of times and then shared with my master gardener neighbor. Keep up the great work.
