This month we’re channelling Yellowstone style and country cowgirl charm with our Rustic Ranch collection, featuring a tasselled waistcoat, cowboy hat and little cactus earrings. Also check out our woodland friends pattern book. Find badger, hare, squirrel and fox in our bonus supplement this issue.

Our cover star is a slouchy cardigan hooked in Rico Fashion Cotton Alpaca Fun Neps. The little lumps or ‘slubs’ in the yarn create effortlessly tactile stitches, with pops of colour worked in too. Embellish a cushion with chunky lettering, bet on an ami’ yeti, and hook up a trio of children’s character hats for those last minute costume requests. Accessories this issue include a vibrant bobble scarf in orange and hot pink and a hexagonal cotton belt. For homeware, we’ve got a beginner-friendly pansy blanket, basket trims and a shooting star cushion. Get the lowdown on how to spot AI crochet, ride the high of learning spiked stitch, or learn a lacy arcade stitch in our favourite blue and green yarns.
