THE Ultimate CROCHET KIT • The best tools to have in your project bag!

A PEEK INSIDE LYNDA TOMKINS’ CROCHET KIT!

Twinning Lip Balm HOLDER • A quick and easy project to keep your lip balm and hand sanitiser handy so you don’t have to rummage through your bag to find them. Make them in matching colours or for you and a friend - twinning!

Twinning Hand Sanitiser HOLDER

Tealight Candle HOLDERS • I hate throwing things out, so I designed this project which is perfect for small coffee, Vegemite and jam jars (or any jar with a diameter of 6-7cm). We had ours hanging around the table at night when on a camping trip to add a magical touch. The pattern can also be adapted for larger jars, although the taller the jar, the harder it is to get the candle in and out.

Raffia Pot Plant COVERS • Add some style to your home with these raffia pot plant covers, designed to decorate your ordinary plastic planter pots. Mix and match colours and choose your own edging to create your own inspired look! A great simple project for you to try an unusual and exciting fibre.

The Henny BAG • This gorgeous chunky crochet bag is the perfect summer project and can be made in a range of different colours! Make one for every outfit or to give as gifts throughout the year.

OCEAN TILES • This crochet blanket is simple yet effective in its design. An easy project for those with knowledge of mosaics, and a more challenging project for those who haven’t dabbled in mosaics before.

Mulberry Multiway TOP • Perfect for festive celebrations and summer days! The Mulberry Multiway Top can be worn in endless ways to suit any style and can be easily modified to each maker’s preference. This is a quick, beginner friendly crochet project, constructed from a two row pattern repeat and framed by simple edging for a seamless finish.
