Laine Let’s Crochet! – Issue 2

Fresh, vibrant and full of creative energy, Let’s Crochet! Issue 2 celebrates the joy of crochet through modern designs, beautiful photography, and inspiring stories from the global fibre community. Whether you’re looking to create a statement garment or a quick weekend project, this issue is filled with pieces that invite you to pick up your hook and start making.

Inside, you’ll find 17 inventive crochet patterns by talented designers from around the world. From breezy summer tops and cosy cardigans to stylish bags and elegant accessories, the collection offers a wide variety of projects to suit different styles and skill levels.

This issue also explores a rich mix of crochet techniques — including mosaic crochet, filet crochet, lacework, and textured stitches like the Alpine stitch and jasmine stitch — giving makers the opportunity to expand their skills while creating beautiful pieces.

Beyond the patterns, the magazine features inspiring stories from the fibre world. Meet Canadian fibre artist Alexandria Masse, known for her whimsical crochet sculptures and advocacy for women’s rights, and read Melanie Falick’s Viewpoint essay about discovering crochet later in life and finding a new rhythm of creativity.

With designs ranging from garments to accessories, there’s truly something for everyone — whether it’s a colourful summer tee, a cosy cardigan, a sturdy everyday bag, or a delicate shawl.
