In the felting pot

Bring some new texture into your crocheted homewares when you make these handy little felted pots from The Fibre Co. Use them to store crochet supplies, coins, keys and even mini plants! The Felted Crochet Pot Duo kits cost £20 at www.thefibreco.com and come with a PDF pattern and enough Oops! Blend No. 1 DK yarn to make two pots.

ANNIE BODY?

Bowie and George’s classic Granny Annie scarf gets a new colourway in this kit from Wool Couture. Now in Moody Blues, the cosy scarf is hooked in Utterly Aran Yarn and is worked using a 4mm crochet hook. Mix and match the shades however you like at www.woolcouturecompany.com or go with the version in the picture above. Get it now and wear it for the rest of winter!

New release

Super duper

The new releases from Wool Warehouse’s Yarnsmiths line just keep on coming! And this might be the most squishable release so far – meet Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky. Much like the other yarns in the range, this hefty 100% acrylic yarn comes in 20 vibrant and neutral colours, is easy to care for and, at £1.99 per 100g ball, is affordable, too. It’s thick and works up quickly so is great for making last-minute winter hats, scarves and mitts. And, thanks to its low price point, you can use it for big projects too, like deliciously chunky jumpers, cosy cushions and heavy blankets – all particularly useful if you’re trying to keep that energy bill down! Pay a visit to www.woolwarehouse.co.uk to check out the full range and purchase your faves.

SWEATER WEATHER

The best time to wear a striped jumper is all the time! Keep warm in a cosy, fairly easy-to-make project that’s available in sizes XS to 5X. Designer Amber of Divine Debris hooked her Hadley Pullover in Lion Brand’s Color Theory yarn, but you can use any worsted weight yarn in your stash – though we do particularly love the muted red, blue, green and grey of Amber’s version. Get the pattern from www.divinedebris. com or her Ravelry page for about £4.07.
