The third edition of a brand-new concept is here. The Guy with the Hook’s (TGWTH) magazine is something I have worked on for a long time. The idea for the magazine is to display a very big, new crochet pattern from my hand. Besides this crochet pattern, there are also some fun articles to read, personal words, photos and illustrations, colorful designs, and, of course…some interesting facts. It has to offer more than a static crochet pattern.

For this third edition, I have chosen the theory of the five elements!

The theory of the five elements is the pattern highlighted in the third edition of TGWTH magazine. It combines four individual patterns that can be crocheted individually or combined to make a wonderful bedspread.

Anyone knows the four elements: water, earth, fire, and air. But did you know the theory of the five elements? In this pattern you will find out some more about this theory. You will learn the five elements by making a different crochet pattern. This theory was born in ancient China and widely spread and adopted daily in China and other Eastern countries. Where the four elements are more primal, the five elements are more about connection, actions, and reactions. Meet Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, and Metal, and crochet along!

Although there is much to tell about the theory of the five elements, the magazine only provides the background story and meanings. The digital patterns contain only this magazine’s crochet patterns and instructions.
