Today I’m delighted to share one of my latest designs that’s been featured in Inside Crochet Magazine Issue 187. Allow me to introduce the Pemberley Lace Shawl, a delicate, lightweight shawl with a beautiful flowing lace pattern that feels elegant and timeless to wear.
The inspiration for this design actually began as a little daydream. In my head I imagined a shawl that felt modern enough to wear today, yet also something Elizabeth Bennet herself might have draped around her shoulders as she walked the grounds of Pemberley. That romantic image stayed with me throughout the design process – and of course it’s exactly where the name came from.
The finished shawl is lovely and generous in size, but still wonderfully lightweight thanks to the yarn and delicate lace stitches. It drapes beautifully and works just as well wrapped around your shoulders as it does worn as a large scarf.
Although the lace looks intricate, it’s actually a very mindful crochet project. Once you’ve worked the setup and become familiar with the triangular shaping, the stitch pattern settles into a gentle two-row repeat that quickly becomes relaxing and rhythmic – perfect for those cosy evenings when you want something soothing to crochet.
For this design I used Sirdar Shawlie with 3.25mm (US size D/3) hook. Sirdar Shawlie is a fine, feather-light shawl yarn enriched with alpaca and wool (10% Wool, 80% Acrylic, 10% Alpaca). It comes in 100g balls with approximately 450m / 492yds of yarn and is a self-striping sport weight (sits between 4-ply and DK) yarn with colours inspired by vintage flowers.
The shade I chose was Chrysanthemum (203), which is a gorgeous blend of sunny yellows and warm golden tones that softly shift as you crochet using. It really highlights the lace stitches beautifully, though there are several other equally pretty shades in the range if you prefer a different palette.
To finish the design, I added a lovely long fringe along the outer edge which just completes the shawl perfectly and gives it a little extra movement and, I think, elegance.
The Pemberley Lace Shawl pattern is available in Issue 187 of Inside Crochet magazine, which is on sale now. available from all good newsagents and craft stores. To purchase a digital copy of Inside Crochet, visit www.pocketmags.com. Be sure to share your makes on social media and tag me @kcaco.uk —I always love seeing what you create.

Helloo lovely makers! Today I’m delighted to share one of my latest makes that’s been featured in Inside Crochet Magazine Issue 186. Allow me to introduce the Whispering Winds Wrap, a delicate, lightweight shawl that feels like you are wearing a soft breeze, and it has quickly become one of my all-time favourite mindful makes.
The Whispering Winds Wrap is an airy triangular shawl worked from the bottom up. For this design I used Rico Design Fashion Mohair Rainbows a soft and dreamy yarn made of 20% Polyester, 17% Wool and 63% Mohair with a with a 4.5mm (US size 7) hook.
It comes in 25 grams balls but has 100 metres, so a little goes a long way. I used 6 balls in shade 004 with a delightful rainbow gradient – lovely to work with rainbows during the grey dreary winter season. The finished shawl is ideal for those transitional days in spring and autumn when you want just that little bit of cosy softness against your shoulders.
Mohair yarn has a personality all its own, and working with it can feel wonderfully different from smoother fibres. It has a signature halo, that soft, misty cloud of fuzz around the yarn strand, that can give finished pieces an soft look that’s perfect for something like the Whispering Winds Wrap. Because of this halo, stitches appear softer and more blended, creating fabric that looks light as air while still providing surprising warmth.
Patience is your best friend when handling mohair. The delicate fibres can cling slightly to themselves, so working at a relaxed pace helps prevent snagging or splitting. If you need to undo stitches, do so slowly and gently to avoid tangling the halo. Many crocheters find that using a hook with a smooth, tapered head makes the process feel easier and more fluid.
Despite its airy feel, mohair is impressively warm. The fuzzy halo traps heat, making even lightweight wraps cosy and comforting. If you’re not familiar with using mohair, why not give it a try – you might like it. I’m actually planning to make another of these shawls at some point, I’ve got some lovely handdyed yarn, in a ocean themed colourway, that I think would just look so pretty made up as a new Whispering Winds Wrap.
Issue 186 of Inside Crochet is packed with beautifully soft and gentle projects to help restore your inner balance. Whether you’re in the mood for relaxing, mindful stitching or something cosy to snuggle into, there’s plenty inside to get you hooking.
Inside Crochet is available in paper form from all good newsagents and craft stores. To purchase a digital copy of Inside Crochet, visit www.pocketmags.com. Be sure to share your makes on social media and tag me @kcaco.uk —I always love seeing what you create.

Helloo!! How’s it going? Things have still been feeling rather full-on here still lately but I’ve been itching to finally sit down and share one of my most recent makes with you. I’m delighted to reveal that my Circa Bag has been featured in Inside Crochet Magazine Issue 185, and I can’t wait to tell you a little more about it.
Crochet bags never really go out of style do they? There’s something so satisfying about creating a bag, as it’s not just an accessory but something genuinely useful. From practical everyday totes to colourful crossbody bags, I love making pieces that are both useful and beautiful. I’ve combined the Circa Bag with a fun colourwork pattern and a classic round shape that I hope feels both timeless and on trend.
Imagine this bag swinging by your side at a weekend market, paired with denim and trainers (sneakers), or worn over a cosy winter coat to brighten up chilly days – or with a cute strappy dress when the sunshine finally returns to our shores! Whether you’re new to colourwork or you’ve been hooked on tapestry crochet for ages, this is a brilliant project to explore a great technique.
It’s called the Circa Bag because “circa” means around the time of, so it’s a bit of a play on words. It’s a nod to the bag’s round shape, and as “circa” is often used when talking about eras or styles, it hopefully fits with the intention of the design feeling timeless rather than tied to one specific trend and is something you could happily use year after year.
For this design I used Garnstudio Drops Cotton Light, which is a soft cotton and polyester blend (50% Cotton, 50% Polyester) that comes in 50g (105m / 114yds) balls. It has great stitch definition without feeling stiff, making it ideal for a bag that needs a bit of structure.
I went for a warm, earthy palette with pops of brighter colour – rich rust and golden tones sit alongside softer neutrals, with small flashes of blue to add contrast. The colours work together to highlight the circular motif without overpowering it, giving the bag a balanced, wearable feel that still makes a statement.
Issue 185 of Inside Crochet is an absolute treat for anyone who loves colourwork. Aptly themed around a strong, design-led collection of projects, it’s filled with makes that really celebrate pattern, contrast and thoughtful use of colour. It’s a joy to be part of an issue that showcases colour in so many different ways.

Hi there, and welcome! This post is all about looking back on my crochet adventures from 2025. I always find yearly reviews so helpful – it’s funny how quickly I forget what I’ve accomplished once my thoughts jump straight to the next idea.
As we begin another year together, I want to start by saying the biggest THANK YOU to each and every one of you. 💖 Whether you’ve purchased a pattern, tried a kit, joined a make-along, or simply liked, shared, or commented on my blog posts or social media, your support truly means the world to me.
In the January I released the new Sleepy Bear Wash Cloth, and I also shared the FREE Paperback Patch Square I was going to use for my year long Book Afghan project for 2025. I’m hoping to share the finished book blanket soon alongside my plans for my book challenge for 2026 as I enjoyed 2025 so much. I also shared my plans for My Hand-Dyed Yarn Challenge 2025 more of which I’ll talk about later – but in a nutshell it didn’t go quite to plan!
I also released my Merry Marble Cowl which was the finished design for the Merry Marbles Makealong which was the winter 2024 collaboration between myself, The Yarn Whisperer, and Mrs G Makes – I’ve remade this cowl again recently and it’s definitely one of my favourite makes in recent years.
Merry Marbles Cowl (Feb 2025)
March / April 2025
March / April was extremely busy with another six designs that I enjoyed creating. First I was thrilled to have three patterns published in issue 119 of Crochet Now magazine including Cinderwhiskers the Cat, Millie & Mollie the Mushroom Twins and the Heatherside Blanket all of which form part of my favourite patterns of this year.
I was also delighted to have a pattern shared in Inside Crochet magazine with the Chevron Neck Tie and another design in April for issue 120 of Crochet Now the nautically cute Captain Beakerson. Then I also released the FREE Easter Egg Belly Buddies – cute little guys which have a hollow tummy, just the right size for tucking in a chocolate egg or a tiny treat.
Easter Belly Buddies (Apr 2025)
May / June 2025
In May I released our popular Curtis the Cactus crochet kit, with his dashing moustache, sun-kissed yellow sun visor, and laid-back messenger bag slung over his shoulder, Curtis has been making a cool addition to desks, plant shelves, and window sills everywhere.
Curtis the Cactus (May 2025)
I also released the new Diamond Daydream Baby Blanket which has also been well received – I love the thought of one of my designs wrapping up a baby somewhere ❤️. Then another filet crochet project released shortly afterwards was the Oriana Wrap in Crochet Now Issue 121. I do love a filet crochet project and I’m sure there will be more in 2026.
Special mention for June’s makes of Peanuts Crochet Collection that I had the opportunity to make for the Crochet Society. I loved making these guys and the kits are still available if you want to make them too, you can find the links to each of the kits on my blog post.
Peanuts Collection – Crochet Society 2025
June also saw the Bright Burst Baskets published in Simply Crochet magazine and Triple the Fun in Crochet Now Issue 122 with Scoops the Panda, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and the Sunshade Scallops Shawlette. Finally at the end of June I released the Janus Keyhole Scarf designed to showcase your favourite skeins of hand dyed yarn – in fact I think I might make myself another one of these at some point.
Janus Keyhole Scarf (Jun 2025)
July / August 2025
In July, I was delighted to take part once again in the Furls Designer Blog Hop 2025, releasing the FREE Forester Shawl – a big, bold, and incredibly cosy design, perfect for those in-between seasons. I also shared a blog post about the fun I had at Carry On Crafting over the summer. Then in August I created the two marshfellows, Coco and Puff, and a bit later Redfern the Squirrel for Crochet Now magazine, and also the Mandala Medallion Square for Simply Crochet’s Granny Square Day 2025.
Forester Shawl (Aug 2025)
Without doubt one of my favourite commissions was in August when I got to relive my childhood by creating the Carebear Crochet Collection for the Crochet Society. I loved making these bears, and like the Peanuts collection the kits are still available if you want to make them too, you can find the links to each of the bears on this blog post.
Carebear Collection – Crochet Society 2025
September / October 2025
The start of September brought more Care Bears, but this time in tiny Halloween-themed versions — perfect for a little seasonal fun! 🎃👻 And in the same issue of Crochet Now magazine, you could also find Spooktail the Cat, adding a touch of spooky charm to your hooky projects.
In October, I finally got around to a couple of pattern re-releases, including Perfectly Plaid Basket and the Patchwork Braid Pillow, bringing these designs back into circulation for new and returning makers alike.
Patchwork Braid Cushion (Oct 2025)
I was also excited to start working with Utopia Crafts, sharing the FREE Utopia Neutral Pumpkin on their website – a quick, cosy seasonal project for anyone wanting a touch of autumnal charm.
And finally, I had the absolute pleasure of designing Totally Hooked Box 57 for The Crochet Society, which featured three distinct patterns: Festive Snoopy, Arctic Whisper Hat & Mitts, and the Winter Wonderland Stocking. Each one offered a little bit of seasonal magic to crochet into your home and wardrobe.
November / December 2025
At the start of November I wrote a blog post about my visit to see the Longest Yarn 2 exhibition (which is you get the chance to visit I highly recommend). You may also remember that in November 2024 I re-released my Poppy pattern to support the Royal British Legion and their poppy campaign. I’m thrilled to share that the pattern has raised over £600 in 2025 — absolutely incredible! ❤️ I really hope we can continue to raise money for this cause in 2026.
Then in December I shared more Christmassy makes but I started off with Hamish the Highland Cow crochet kit, who has been the star of our shows throughout the year. I also shared my delight in having 8 different seasonal patterns published in the Christmas Amigurumi Bookazine, including Father Christmas, Mrs Claus, Tinsel the Elf, Cinnamon the Gingerbreadman, Dasher the Reindeer and Crispin the Snowman. I then shared another three new tree decoration crochet kits with the Teddy Stocking, Angel and Santa kits.
So what can you look forward to in 2026? Well, if I’m being completely honest, this is the year I really need to concentrate on getting some patterns released. It’s been such a busy time behind the scenes that actually sitting down and finishing patterns for release has proved trickier than planned – but this year I’m making it a proper priority. This may mean I’m remaking some old designs to give them a bit of a refresh which is something else I’ll be trying to make time for this year.
And yes… I know I said it last year, but 2026 is definitely the year of the WIP purge! I’m determined to finish up those long-standing works-in-progress and clear some space (both physically and creatively) before adding too many new ones to the pile.
Alongside that, I’m hoping to squeeze in some more fun too – including a few personal crochet challenges, some exciting new blog hops, and of course collaborations that I can’t wait to share with you. There are also plans in motion for new designs appearing in some of your favourite crochet magazines, which is always something I look forward to revealing. All in all, it’s shaping up to be another creative year, just with a little more focus and intention this time around.
I’d love to hear from you. What did you finish in 2025, or what are you most looking forward to making in 2026? Drop me a comment below and let’s have a chat 💬🧶
Until next time; keep calm and crochet on my friends xx

The twinkle lights are coming on, the tree is whispering its silent invitation to be put up, and somehow December has slipped up on us again.

I’m so happy to share with you my latest pattern that’s featured in Issue 183 of Inside Crochet magazine – please may I introduce the Stellaris Bag 🌟
The Stellaris Bag is a simple but different crochet accessory that combines clean lines with the subtle sparkle of beads. It’s worked using a straightforward stitch pattern, and then brought to life with simple beadwork, crocheting with them as you go, that was designed to catch the light just like tiny constellations scattered across the night sky.
The name Stellaris comes from the Latin word for “starry,” and that’s exactly the mood I wanted to capture – something elegant, a touch magical, and a joy to make. The addition of beads may look intricate, but the technique is really beginner-friendly and adds a stunning effect without overcomplicating the process.
For this design, I used Drops Nord Mix, 50g; 45% alpaca, 30% Polyamide, 25% wool (Deep Ocean Mix 09) a smooth, lightweight yarn that gives great stitch definition and just the right amount of drape for a bag. The yarn’s soft sheen complements the sparkle of the sead beads perfectly, making it a stylish little statement piece. You can, of course, personalise your bag with different bead colours – think silver for moonlight shimmer or gold for a touch of sunshine glow.
I loved how this project turned out; if you’re looking to add a bit of handmade flair to your wardrobe then go grab your copy of Inside Crochet Magazine Issue 177.
This issue is an absolute treat for anyone who loves all things celestial! Aptly themed around “a star-studded line-up of celestial inspired projects”, it’s filled with cosy makes inspired by the sun, moon and stars. It’s such a dreamy collection to be part of, and my Stellaris Bag is a little piece of starlight amongst them!

The days are getting shorter, the evenings cooler, and I’m absolutely ready to pull up a favourite chair, wrap myself in yarny goodness and indulge in that cosy, content-feeling known as hygge. If you know me, you know I believe in the power of hooking to help make the world slow down for a short time.
That’s why I’m so excited to join this year’s Hygge blog-hop, curated by Green Fox Farm Designs, to celebrate all things handcrafted comfort. The hop is here to emphasise the warmth, the calm, the slower rhythms of life, and of course the loveliest crochet patterns to match.
Why Hygge + Crochet = Perfect Match
The word hygge (Scandinavian in origin) evokes that feeling of cosiness, comfort and contentment, and what better way to honour it than with a crochet hook in hand, yarn under your fingers, and the world outside slipping away in mindful quiet as you stitch. It’s perfect for this season when blankets, cushions, cowls and warm wraps become our friends.
For three weeks we will be hopping between different crochet blogs and different designers to gather up a whole lot of satisfying makes and (for a limited time only) free crochet patterns.
Starting 3rd November, we’ll spend three cosy weeks with one shared hygge crochet pattern each day from a different designer. Patterns will range from the soft, soothing, and useful. Think squishy blankets, textured scarves, warm beanies, amigurumi, mug rugs, and other little comforts that help you slow down and breathe during the holiday rush. Every day, the crochet hygge pattern will be available as a free PDF download for 24 hours only.
