Two brand new patterns from Crochet with Lynda are now live online and in-store! 💜✨

First up, the Australian Native Bouquet:
A stunning crochet bouquet celebrating the vibrant beauty of Australia's native flora 🌸 Crocheted with cotton and wire and full of gorgeous texture, the set includes a waratah, wattle and gumnut. Originally one of the standout projects from the 2025/2026 Crochet Retreats, we're so excited to finally have this one available for everyone!

And secondly, the La Miel Bag:
A beautiful bag blending traditional crochet and Tunisian techniques to create a stunning honeycomb design. Fully customisable in size and simpler to make than you might think! Originally published in Homespun Magazine Issue #227, this one is a real showstopper.

Both patterns are written in UK terminology and available now in-store and online 💜 https://www.crochetaustralia.com.au/shop/

It's time for our June Tip of the Month! 💜

Stop guessing how much yarn you need for your blanket — we've done the maths so you don't have to! 🧶✨

Winter is the perfect time to start an afghan or blanket project, and this month we've put together a handy guide covering everything you need to know, from common blanket sizes to average yarn quantities for both 4ply and 8ply yarn.

Plus, if you're using a fancy stitch or a different yarn weight, we've included a simple step-by-step formula so you can work out exactly how much you need.

Head to our Hints & Tips blog to read this month's tip 💜 https://www.crochetaustralia.com.au/blanket-afghan-sizes-june-2021/

Introducing our July class: the Astral Bloom Poncho Top! 🌟💜

This stunning creation centres around a beautiful starburst motif and the best part? It's one size fits all and can be worn two ways — as a relaxed poncho for easy layering, or as a top over a camisole, bodysuit or dress.

Lynda will guide you through the full construction over 4 classes, starting with an overview and your first motif, then working through to the join, finishing options, and that gorgeous textural border 🧶
