Let’s Crochet! Issue 2 features 17 crochet patterns from talented designers around the world. The patterns are vibrant and inventive, ranging from sweaters, tops and cardigans to bags and other accessories. The photography enhances the fresh, fun and modern vibe of the crochet pieces.

We also meet the Canadian fibre artist Alexandria Masse, who is known for her fun, whimsical crochet sculptures, but also for her support for feminism and women’s reproductive rights. In our Viewpoint article, Melanie Falick, a lifelong knitter, tells how she picked up a crochet hook as an adult — and discovered not just a new creative medium, but a new rhythm of making.
