Looking to level up your crochet skills? Great news – we’ve asked the author of our technical features, Becky Skuse, to put together an essential guide to some of our most asked-about techniques. Here, you’ll find all the information you need to tackle cabling, extended stitches, colourwork, Tunisian entrelac and mosaic and interlocking crochet, as well as beautiful patterns that will let you practise your new skills. Make the projects over and over again until you’re a pro, then give them away as handmade gifts – not only will you have some new techniques in your repertoire, you’ll also have half you Christmas list sorted before autumn!
