Simply Crochet 128

As the nights have grown longer this autumn, I’ve been doing a spot of stargazing and pondering the wonders of the unknown universe. And we have some truly interstellar makes in this issue, too! Why not explore with the fuzzy alien by Ellie’s Craft Boutique on page 33, Sally Shepherd’s space bunting on page 63 or Maria Jeczmyk’s shooting star throw on page 48? I’ll also be celebrating everyday wonders here on Earth with patterns for autumnal embellishments, baby blankets, comfy cowls and more on my hook! And please share your makes on Instagram tagged #sctreblemaker, or on our Facebook group, Simply Crochet SCtreblemakers, as we love to see them. Raise a cheer for all the talented designers in this issue……
