Simply Crochet 79

We’re all about the animal print this issue, drawing on nature’s inpiration for cushions, throws, a sweet cardi and a showstopping tiger-skin rug – designed by the one and only Vanessa Mooncie. This is our kind of hunting trophy! See it in all its glory on p14. This issue also comes with a 28-page mini-mag: we’ve worked with Scheepjes and our brilliant designers to use warm and cool colour palettes to make four gorgeous blankets. There are patterns for beginners and experts, and what’s more, you can plan your own with your swatch cards and pen – choose your temperature and grab your hook!…
