Take a look inside issue 179 of Simply Crochet magazine!

Not ready to step out of the sunshine? Feel the warmth with our Indian Summer collection – an all new pull out and keep segment of the mag. You’ll find a jumper, scarf, cushion and blanket ready to hook in the glitzy Cygnet Boho Spirit Highlights.

If the sun does go in, we’ve got your autumn essentials covered. Pair ruffles and checkerboards with a matching scarf and mitt combo, bring back the early aughts with a baker boy hat, and cosy up in a quilt-style cardigan. Nature lovers will adore our smiley foxglove friend – perhaps they’ll be pals with the amigurumi pumpkin too?

For homeware, you’ll find a brushed Tunisian cushion, tactile rainbow blanket and 3D sunflower emblem to brighten your living space. New parents will appreciate the neutral tones of our baby hat and booties – and there’s even a two-way shawl to keep Mum warm, too.
