Let’s Crochet! – Laine Publishing

 Let’s Crochet! is a captivating one-off issue of Laine Magazine dedicated entirely to contemporary crochet design. Featuring 17 patterns, interesting articles as well as beautiful photography, this special issue celebrates the versatility of contemporary crochet; sleek or playful, muted or colourful, soft and flowing or sturdy and durable. With bold colour combinations and springtime light, the photography creates an uplifting, joyful and slightly nostalgic vibe.

Let’s Crochet! features an interview with the crochet designer Agnes Koch, whose love for fashion and colour shines through in her fun and approachable patterns. We also take a closer look at the iconic granny square: why is this evergreen crochet block so loved by crafters, fashion designers and celebrities alike, and what do the 2020s versions of it look like?

The patterns were created by the following designers: Eun Mi Ahn, Alicia Arroyo Blanco, Ana-Maria Babanica, Susan Chin, Anna Eklund, Anna Erlandsson, Carmen Gómez, Sarianna Lehtonen, Veronica Lönnqvist, Julia Madill, Molla Mills, Rosina North­cott, Anne-Michelle Phelan, Linda Skuja, Mariia Sordiia and Jessica Tsung. 

“As many of you know, Laine magazines and books have primarily focused on knitting. We wanted to create this special issue to encourage knitters to give crochet a try — but most of all, to thank crocheters for the joy and creativity they bring to the world of fibre crafts.”
