Think cottagecore, then think more – we’re taking vintage prints and delicate florals all the way with our Modern Chintz collection, starring a patchwork throw, mosaic tablecloth and bow-adorned cushions. You’ll also receive an adorable heart-shaped bag charm kit and seven bonus patterns in our Love & Stitches supplement to get you ready for Valentine’s Day.

Our cover star is a cute floral tank top made in West Yorkshire Spinners’ Morris wool, ideal for layering while the weather remains chilly. Check out the matching cushion too! Embellish a blouse with a delicate collar and set of cuffs, hook a fluffy fox in faux fur yarn, and add a waddling, cuddling penguin appliqué to a baby blanket. Accessories this issue include a pastel scarf and a moss stitch cowl – and if you’re still shivering, try our long coatigan on for size. Read our tips on crocheting costumes based on book characters, get to grips with c2c crochet, and try filet crochet with our step-by-step guide.
