Crocheting has blown up in popularity in the last few years. If you don’t know what it is yet, crochet is the art of creating textiles by using a single crochet hook. Once you get the hang of it, crochet can be an easy and versatile way to create so many things. Check out these fun and cute things to crochet – you’ll be hooked!
Granny Squares
Let’s start with the basics – a granny square is the holy grail of crocheting!

Get to grips with a granny square and you’re on your way to making blankets, cushion covers and bags! You name it!
