See the stand-out, on-trend crochet items you can make this year

01/11/2023

The art of crochet is the best of both worlds. The process itself is relaxing, satisfying, and rewarding – making it a timeless pastime. And the finished items are bold, customisable, and unique – making them increasingly popular and trendy.

Crochet fashion was a defining look last year, with its retro-throwback quality and boho aesthetic. And it’s only going to get more popular in 2023. Here’s a stylish selection of patterns and kits… All you need to do is pick your favourites.

Ready, steady, crochet

1. Granny square open-style vest. Granny squares are in so why not learn how to crochet this piece from designer @oh_mami_crochet. One of the best things about this project? The Instagranny yarn. You won’t need to worry about changing the yarn colour with each round because of the way the fibres transitions naturally from colour to colour. Easy to make, expert effect.

2. Granny square women’s bag. Another for granny square lovers, this time taking the traditional granny square to the next level with the daisy motif. Combine 3 colours of our SeaCell cotton to create this gorgeous oversized bag. Our SeaCell cotton is composed of 100% biodegradable matter and seaweed, which are collected through a sustainable and non-damaging process. 

3. Granny square flower crop top. The third a final granny square-inspired item in the list. Get ready for summer with this fun, retro style crop top, uniquely handmade by you. This kit also features our SeaCell cotton and the pattern is designed by crochet artist @ameskeria.

4. Crocheted women’s bag. Another item where environmentally friendly meets fashionable. What’s better than a stylish bag you can use everyday? One that is handmade with the most sustainable yarn in the world: Katia EKOS recycled cotton. This two-tone handbag has a summery yet minimalist style and is ideal for developing crocheters.

5. Women’s dress. This oversized, chunky dress is one of a kind. No matter your size or shape this dress is a perfect item for your winter wardrobe. And with our multicoloured Azteca yarn this will make for a real statement piece, whether worn as part of a casual or smart look.

6. Kids A-line dress. Looking for a cosy winter item to make for your little one? Here it is. This A-line dress is full of texture and the mix of stitches and the cable design makes it different to what you’ll see on the highstreet. Our Azteca Tweed yarn has a homespun finish and comes in different multicolour gradients. An original yet timeless piece.

7. Semi-circular womens shawl. This cape-like shawl is another item that you won’t find in a typical highstreet shop. It’s elegant, unique, delicate, and can be worn with almost anything for a touch of originality. The kit features our Mohair cotton yarn, known for its unparalleled softness.

Crochet trends in 2023 will be all about personalising your fashion. Pick fun colours and be bold. Make your projects your own.
