Craft of Crochet ‘The original Vogue Knitting magazines published from the 1990s tothe 1960s usualy Included crochet, but the mader incarnation ofthe magazine has done so only sporad: ically. In 1994 the publishers decide to test the waters with a dedicated crochet issue (see cover below), Itwas a great magazine with designs inspied by runway crochet (mary st very wearable) and he cover mace was the lve Jenner Fain, who woul marty Syvester Stallone a few years later. For many reasons, we have not published ‘another crochet issue, though the original continues to sll steadily after all these years; a few precious copies are sill avalable for sale in our online store. So, you ask, what made us decide to create another crochet magazine after so ‘many years? We learned from our recent reader survey that more of you crochet than ever before. When | frst came to this job, only about 30 percent of our readers Crocheted; now that number is almost 70 percent. Crochet designs abound 'n fashion runways around the word, with numbers increasing over the past few years. Christopher Kane, House of Holland and Stella McCartney have showcased ‘amazing crochet designs, with Kane even printing crocheted fabric onto leather to imitate the timeless and venerable granny square. Yarn manufacturers have publised more and more crochet pattems, so when we vist our local yarn shop, ‘avolry.com, esy.com, etc. we see an abundance of crachet, mostly designs with a mere style-conscious sensiilty Book publishers as well are ving crochet is due—presenting the craft in the ‘same modern way kniting was hal-2-dazen years ago.

For example, if your edging ‘gauge is four stitches tothe inch, you wil decrease four times to shin the neckline by 1'/2.5em, spreading the decreases evenly along the neckline. Ifyou need 25cm less, work another row with four decreases, placing them at diferent spots than you did in the fst row of edging, ‘This same strategy can be used to draw in the mists of a sleeve. - Blocking ‘Nerul sep in ishing blocking, the process of wetting the work 1 ven out regulates and ae the stiches.
