Hello Hooksters! If you love crochet, colour and style, then we have got something special for you! We created a Zandra Rhodes-inspired collection of bright and beautiful garments and accessories using her new WYS yarn range, which are fun to wear and a pleasure to make (page 14). And we met the lady herself and chatted all things yarn, crochet and fashion design (page 64). For those who want stunning homewares, find the gorgeous hexagon blanket on page 67 and bobble cushion on page 62. Please share your makes on Instagram tagged #sctreblemaker, or on our Facebook group Simply Crochet SCtreblemakers, as we love to see them!…

Lucy George and I, Jacinta Bowie, are the designers behind Bowie and George. We have worked together for several years, producing work for magazines and the brand Wool Couture. Our Grannie Annie scarf is our favourite make together. This scarf was named after Lucy’s grannie, Annie, who follows her crochet design career closely. My great-grandmother was also called Annie, so this name has a connection to both of us. My Annie was a herring girl, someone who followed fishing fleets down the east coast of the UK, and I have a romantic notion of her standing, waiting for the boats to come in, with her knitting and crochet close to hand. The name of this design is also a play on words, because it consists of granny squares, of course!…

The British designer Zandra Rhodes has had a huge influence on the world of fashion during a career spanning 50 years. Famous for her exuberant colour combinations and innovative silhouettes (and for her iconic pink hair!), Zandra has long had a love of knitwear, having been taught to knit by her grandmother. This year, she has teamed up with British yarn company West Yorkshire Spinners to develop brand-new shades for its most popular and versatile yarn ranges, Signature 4ply and ColourLab DK. The collection includes six vibrant and variegated colourways, including Zandra’s Rainbow, Forest Stripes, and Sunset Bouquet. Zandra has also created a collection of wearable, colourful handknit patterns showcasing these new colourways. Simply Crochet loved the colours of Zandra’s designs so we created our own Zandra Rhodes crochet collection,…
