Lavender haze

IT’S A WRAP

With a pretty border inspired by lavender flower spikes, this shawl is ideal for throwing over your shoulders on a summer’s eve.

WE HEART IT

Show a loved one how much they mean to you by presenting them with this dainty heart. Bonus points if you add lavender to the stuffing so they can enjoy the scent of summer all year long.

DRESS TO IMPRESS

The ultimate summer project, this delicate dress is truly a crochet work of art. And if you’ve always wanted to make your own wedding dress, this might just be the perfect outfit for your I dos.

TRIMMED TO PERFECTION

Whether it’s a wicker picnic hamper or flower-filled trug, every basket looks prettier when you add a crochet border. This one uses picot stitch and foundation double crochet to create the pattern.

CROWNING GLORY

Turn a simple straw hat into a unique accessory with a dainty lace ribbon that cascades over the brim and trails elegantly down your back. You’ll be turning heads wherever you go!

Now that’s a coat – or, should we say, cardigan – of many colours! Lorna Sharpe did an amazing job with this pattern from issue 54. We love how she swapped the vintage tones of the original design with bold rainbow shades, giving it a fresh new vibe.
