The world is a buzz with the birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

To commemorate the arrival of baby George Alexander Louis I’ve hooked a lovely little crown.

Appliqué it on a sweater, blanket or cushion. Make a string of bunting to celebrate or you could even wear it as a pin!

Crochet Talk: Stitches

Last week we were talking about crochet terminology. I said that the most important thing to remember is, that even though the terminology may be different, the actual methods of making the stitches are the same.

Below you’ll find simple guidance charts for the most frequently used crochet stitches!

NOTE: The terminology used is Australian | UK.
