A common topic at get
togethers and catch-ups these
days is what we are watching
on TV. Or rather, what we
are watching on the many
streaming options we have.
There’s so many great shows
out there and it seems there’s
not enough time to watch
them all.
To make time “invested”
in a new show seem more
worthwhile, I like to do some
handwork while I’m watching.
That could be quilting,
paperpiecing or kni!ing.
Nothing complicated of course
- I don’t want to lose track of
the plot - but just enough that
I feel like I’m being productive
while I’m enjoying myself.
If that sounds like you,
you’ve come to the right place

as this issue is full of projects
to tackle over the darker
winter months. Some of them
will require your full a!ention,
while others are simple
enough to do while you’re
watching (not sure that I could
manage subtitles though!).
Take a look through this
issue to discover classic takes
(and new twists) on stripes,
bright hues to add some
sunshine to gloomy days,
cables that will stretch your
skills, soothing neutrals and
projects to dress and entertain
the kids. There are projects
for your wardrobe, your home,
your partner and your children
or grandchildren, and there
are a range of skill levels so
you can find the project that
suits.
If you’re just ge!ing started,
turn to page 57 for our kick-off
guide, then pick a project,
select your new favourite show
(I’m a bit late to the party but
love Grace & Frankie), cast on
and get started.
Happy making!

YARN WEIGHTS

Choose the right yarn for your project
!"#$#&#%PLY#Essentially one strand, or two or three strands
of yarn twisted together, these are great for kni!ing fi!ed
garments such as socks, gloves or lace. Most o"en, 2ply is
kni!ed on 1.5-3.5mm needles or crochet hook, and it’s best
used for delicate lace kni!ing and baby garments.
&PLY#This is a favourite weight for baby clothes, socks, and
lightweight jumpers and cardigans. The best needles to use
with 4ply yarn range between 3mm and 4mm, although
socks are kni!ed with smaller needles to create a denser
fabric that’s more hard-wearing. To crochet 4ply use a
hook between 3.5 and 4.5mm.
'PLY#OR#DOUBLE#KNITTING#(DK)#So called because it’s
usually double the weight of 4ply, DK is the most widely
used yarn and is versatile enough for many garments. It’s
also quick to knit with. Most pa!erns and yarns suggest you
use a hook or needles between 3.5 and 4.5mm.
ARAN Originally created for fishermen’s jumpers,
Aran-weight wool can be used to make up accessories
and many different garments when DK isn’t heavy enough,
and chunky is too bulky. It’s perfect for outdoor or warm
clothing. Best results are gained using 4-5.5mm needles
and a hook between 5.5 and 6.5mm.
CHUNKY Heavier than Aran, chunky wool is traditionally
associated with outdoor wear and winter jumpers. It’s
kni!ed on 5.5-7mm needles and is ideal for beginners
because the kni!ing will grow quickly. It’s also great for
oversized garments. Crochet chunky yarn with a
6.5-9mm hook.
SUPER#CHUNKY#This weight of yarn is proving increasingly
popular for making winter coats and jumpers. It’s also good
for beginners because it produces quick results. We’d
recommend using needles that are at least 7mm thick, up to
12mm thick and a hook 6.5-9mm thick.

BIG#Quick and easy to knit with, big yarns are perfect
for winter and making bold statements. You’ll need large
needles or a hook for this yarn – from 13mm up to 20mm
thick. It’s perfect for bold scarves and coats, as well as cosy
cushions and throws.

YARN LABELS

How to read the ball band on your yarn
A ball band is the piece of paper wrapped around the yarn,
where the manufacturers put all the information about the
yarn. Have a look at the annotations below to see what it all
means. It’s a good idea to keep your ball bands to refer back
to when you wash a garment, or in case you decide to knit
the same pattern again.

TYPES!OF!HOOK

CHOOSE!THE!RIGHT!HOOK!FOR!YOUR!PROJECT

WOOD!&!
BAMBOO

Smooth, gorgeous
to handle and great
to look at, bamboo
and wood are good
materials to use with
slippery yarns such
as silks and fine
wools, because
they grip the
yarn better than
metal hooks. If you
have arthritis
or similar, try using
wooden hooks.

METAL

Made from one of the most
common and useful materials,
metal hooks are perfect for
‘stickier’ yarns such as acrylic,
because they’re smooth and the
yarn slides along easily. The more
polished a hook is, the faster you
can work. Very fine crochet
hooks are usually metal and can
bend easily, so take good care
of them!

MIXTURE

Some hooks combine different materials
to get the best of both. Most popular are
hooks with metal tips and wooden or plastic
handles, which can manoeuvre the yarn
easily and feel good in your hand. Some
hooks even have moulded ergonomic grips to
place the least possible strain on your hands.

PLASTIC!

Light and strong,
plastic is great
for getting new
or young crafters
to learn crochet.
Plastic hooks are an
inexpensive way to
build up your hook
stash, especially
since plastic is often
used for larger hooks.
Acrylic hooks are
similar to plastic, but
they can be a little
heavier. Both are
comfortable to use.

TUNISIAN

Also known as Afghan hooks,
these straight tools have
a hook at one end or both
ends and are especially
designed for use in Tunisian
crochet patterns.

YOU!WILL!NEED

TYPES!OF!NEEDLES
FIND$THE$RIGHT$NEEDLES$FOR$YOUR$PROJECT

STRAIGHT

Perfect for beginners, these come in pairs and allow you to create large, flat
pieces of fabric. They can be unwieldy though, and you’re o!en li!ing the
entire weight of your kni"ing as you work, which can be uncomfortable.

CIRCULAR
Made of two needle ‘tips’
connected by a cable, circulars
can be used to knit in the round or
in rows, back and forth between
the tips. Used in this way, like
ordinary needles, the cable
takes the weight of the fabric.

INTERCHANGEABLE$
Circular needles come in
various sizes and lengths.
Interchangeable needles
allow you to mix and match
needle tips with cables so
you don’t have to buy one of
every thickness and length.
You can buy sets as well
as individual parts.

DOUBLE-POINTED
Sold in sets of four or five, they
enable you to knit in the round.
It might seem scary using so
many needles, but you only
ever ‘knit’ with two – the rest
just hold stitches.

SUPER-SIZED

Use enormous pairs
like this to knit with
big yarns, or even
a thinner yarn for a
lacy look. Super-sized
needles result in
super-quick projects!
Great fun for young,
instant-gratificationloving kni"ers too.

CABLE

Used when kni"ing cables,
these kinked, or straight,
needles are handy for
holding a small number of
stitches that you don’t want
to knit yet (the kink stops the
stitches falling off). You could
use a stitch holder or a spare
needle instead.

EXTRA$LONG

Useful (as you might
expect) for extra-large
projects, such as big
jumpers, cushions and
throws, especially if
you’re not keen on using
circular needles or you
like to tuck one needle
under your arm.

CROCHET!ESSENTIALS
HOLDING THE HOOK

HOLDING THE YARN

Try these methods and see which works best.

Pencil method
Hold the hook like a pencil, in
your right hand (if you’re
right-handed), about 3-5cm
from the hooked end. If your
hook has a flat area, you’ll find
it comfortable to hold it here.

Even tension results in even stitches.

Knife method
Hold the hook between your
thumb and forefinger, about
3-5cm from the hooked end,
resting the end of the hook
against your palm. This will
give you lots of control.

Method one
Pass the ball end of the yarn
between the li!le finger and
third fingers of your le" hand
(if you are right-handed),
then behind the third and
middle fingers, over your
index finger.

Method two
Loop the ball end of the yarn
loosely around the li!le finger
of your le" hand, then take it
over the third finger, behind
the middle finger and over
your index finger.

MAKING A SLIP KNOT THE FIRST LOOP ON THE HOOK

STEP 1
STEP 1 Hold the tail of the
ball of yarn in your le" hand
and drape the yarn clockwise
over the top of it to form
a loose, circular loop.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Hold the loop between
le" thumb and forefinger, then
insert the crochet hook
through the centre of the
loop from front to back.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Catch the ball end
of the yarn with the hook
and pull it back through the
centre of the loop, taking
the yarn through with it.

CHAIN STITCH Use this stitch to make your foundation chain.

STEP 4
STEP 4 Pull both ends of the
yarn to tighten the knot, then
pull just the ball end to tighten
the loop so it’s close to the
hook, but not touching it.

HOW TO
COUNT CHAINS

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

STEP 1
STEP 1 Hold the hook in
your right hand, and both
the yarn end and the
working yarn in your le"
hand. Move the hook under
and over the yarn to wrap
it around anticlockwise.

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 2 Pull the hook
towards the slip knot,
catching the yarn in the
hook and pulling it through
the slip knot loop. This forms
your first chain (ch) stitch.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to
form a chain length.

STEP 3 This is what your row
of chains will look like. Hold
the chain with your le" hand
near the hook to keep the
tension. Keep going until
you have the number of
chains that’s stated in
your pa!ern.

!" BHG KNIT#&#CROCHET#COLLECTION#$"$%

Each chain or loop counts as
one stitch. Never count your
first slip knot or the loop on
the hook (called the working
loop). So that you can be
accurate, make sure the
chain is not twisted and
that the front is facing you.

HOW!TO!CROCHET

Over the next few pages, you’ll find simple step-by-step guides to many useful
stitches and techniques that you’ll use every time you pick up a hook

SLIP STITCH (SS)

WORKING IN ROWS

This stitch has no height – o"en used to join rounds.

STEP 1
STEP 1 The slip stitch is used
to join a length of chain into
the round. Insert the hook
from front to back into the first
chain you worked. Wrap yarn
round the hook (yrh) in an
anticlockwise direction.

Follow these simple rules to construct crochet fabric.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Pull the yarn through
the chain stitch (as shown) and
then the loop already on the
hook to make a slip stitch.
You can also work this stitch
into each stitch along a row
to form a neat edging.

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 1 The first row is
made by working across the
foundation chain from right
to le". At the end of the chain
or row, turn the work so that
the yarn is behind the hook.

STEP 2 For the next row,
first make the turning chain
for the stitch you’re about to
work (see page 66). Now work
the next stitch into the top
of the stitches on your first
row, missing the first stitch.

DOUBLE CROCHET (DC) US TERM: SINGLE CROCHET

One of the key stitches in crochet, double crochets are simple, compact stitches that form a dense fabric.

STEP 1
STEP 1 To make a double
crochet stitch, insert the hook
under the top two loops of the
next stitch on the previous row.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Wind the yarn around
the hook (yrh).

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 3 Pull the yarn through
the stitch, giving you two
loops on your crochet hook.

STEP 4 Yarn around hook
again, then pull the yarn
through both loops. There’s
your double crochet made,
and you’ll have one loop le"
on the hook, ready to do the
next stitch.

HALF TREBLE CROCHET (HTR) US TERM: HALF DOUBLE CROCHET
A handy stitch that’s between double and treble crochet in size, and it looks slightly looser than double crochet.

STEP 1
STEP 1 To make a half treble
crochet stitch, work to where
you want the htr and then
wind the yarn round the
hook (yrh).

STEP 2
STEP 2 Insert the hook
under the top two loops
of the next stitch in the
previous row. Wrap yarn
around the hook again (yrh).

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 3 Pull the yarn through
the stitch only (three loops
on hook).

STEP 4 Yarn around hook
again, pull the yarn through
all three loops. You’ve made a
half treble crochet. Continue
working htr into next and
following sts to end of row.

KNIT!&!CROCHET!COLLECTION!"#"$ BHG %&

TREBLE CROCHET (TR)
One of the most popular stitches in crochet, this simple stitch is twice as high as a double crochet stitch.

STEP 1
STEP 1 To work a treble
crochet, start by winding yarn
around the hook.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Insert the hook under
the top two loops of the stitch
on the previous row. Wrap
yarn around the hook (yrh) and
pull the yarn through the
stitch only.

STEP 3
STEP 3 You will now have
three loops on the hook.
Yrh again, and draw the
yarn through just the first
two loops on the hook.

STEP 4
STEP 4 You will now have
two loops on the hook.
Yrh again and draw the yarn
through the remaining loops
on the hook. Your treble
crochet is complete.

DOUBLE TREBLE (DTR)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Yrh twice and insert
the hook under the top 2 loops
of the stitch indicated. Yrh and
draw through the stitch only (4
loops on hook).

STEP 2
STEP 2 Yrh and pull the yarn
through the first 2 loops only (3
loops on hook).

STEP 3
STEP 3 Yrh and pull the yarn
through the first 2 loops only (2
loops on hook).

STEP 4
STEP 4 Yrh and pull the yarn
through the remaining 2 loops.
There’s your double treble
made and you’ll have 1 loop le"
on your hook ready to do the
next stitch.

WORKING A CLUSTER STITCH (3-TR)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Start a treble in the
usual way: yrh, insert hook,
yrh, pull loop through (3 loops
on hook), yrh, pull through first
2 loops (2 loops on hook). Stop
here, without finishing.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Start treble in the
same st/sp: yrh, insert hook in
the same st/sp again, yrh, pull
loop through (4 loops on
hook), yrh and pull through
first 2 loops (3 loops on hook).
Stop here.

!" BHG KNIT#&#CROCHET#COLLECTION#"$"%

STEP 3
STEP 3 Repeat step 2 until
you’ve worked the number of
trebles shown in pa#ern; in
this example we’re working
3-tr cl. Next finish all trebles
together: yrh, pull loop
through all loops on hook.

STEP 4
STEP 4 This is how the
completed cluster should look.
On the next row, just work a
stitch into the top of the
cluster as usual. The stitch
count should remain the same.

HOW!TO!CROCHET

HOW TO CHANGE COLOUR

INCREASING AND DECREASING

Create stripes and other colour effects.

Shaping stitches are vital for making garments.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Before you work the
final yrh (yarn round hook)
on the last stitch of a row in
the old colour, drop the old
yarn and then pick up the new
one with your hook.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Pull through a loop
of the new yarn to finish the
old stitch. The working loop
will be in the new colour.
Continue, keeping the old
yarn at the wrong side.

INCREASE To increase one
stitch is very simple – work
one stitch into the next stitch
on the row below. When
you’ve finished, work another
stitch into the same stitch.

DECREASE For a quick
decrease, just skip one stitch.
For a neater look, work the
first part of one stitch and
then begin the next stitch.
Finish both together.

DECREASE WITH DOUBLE CROCHET TWO TOGETHER (DC2TOG)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Start by inserting
the hook under the top two
loops of the next stitch on the
previous row. Begin to work
a double crochet stitch in
the usual way, working yrh
and pull loop through
(two loops on hook).

STEP 2
STEP 2 Without finishing the
first dc, begin the next dc by
inserting the hook in the next
stitch on the previous row.
Again, work yrh and pull
loop through (three loops
on hook).

STEP 3

STEP 4
STEP 4 This is how your
completed dc2tog should look.
You will have neatly decreased
one stitch. On subsequent
rows, you can simply work
a stitch into the top of the
dc2tog stitch as usual.

STEP 3 Now complete
both dc stitches together
by working yrh and pull this
loop through all three loops
on the hook.

DECREASE WITH TREBLE TWO TOGETHER (TR2TOG)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Begin working a treble
as usual: yrh, insert hook under
top two loops of next stitch
on prev row, yrh, pull loop
through (three loops on hook),
yrh and pull through first two
loops (two loops on hook).

STEP 2
STEP 2 Without finishing
the first tr, begin the next tr,
working yrh, insert hook in next
stitch on prev row. Again, work
yrh and pull loop through, yrh
and pull through first two
loops (three loops on hook).

STEP 3
STEP 3 Now complete both
the treble stitches together
by working yrh and pull this
loop through all three loops
on the hook.

STEP 4
STEP 4 This is how your
completed tr2tog should look.
You will have neatly decreased
one tr stitch. On subsequent
rows, you can simply work
a stitch into the top of the
tr2tog stitch as usual.

FRONT POST TREBLE STITCH (FPTR)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Identify the post of the
next stitch. Then work yrh (as
usual for a treble stitch) and
insert hook into the front of
the fabric, around the back
of the post, and bring out hook
on other side of post.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Work the rest of the
stitch as you usually would for
a treble, so yrh and carefully
pull the loop of yarn out of the
fabric – it should loop around
the post of the stitch.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Work yrh again and
pull the yarn through the first
two loops. Yrh and pull the
yarn through the remaining
two loops to complete the
front post treble stitch.

STEP 4
STEP 4 You’ll see how the
stitch is raised up, compared
to the rest of the fabric. Work
more front post treble stitches
in the same way, repeating
from Step 1.

BACK POST TREBLE STITCH (BPTR)

STEP 1
STEP 1 Identify the post of the
next stitch. Then work yrh (as
usual for a treble stitch) and
insert hook into the back of
the fabric, around the front
of the post, and bring out hook
on other side of post.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Work the rest of the
stitch as you usually would for
a treble, so yrh and carefully
pull the loop of yarn out of the
fabric – it should loop around
the post of the stitch.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR TENSION
Make and measure a swatch to check your tension.

Most crochet pa!erns state the
tension required in rows and stitches
of a specific type. Make a swatch at
least 15cm square and check that
your tension matches. Place the ruler
along a column of stitches and insert
two pins 10cm apart. Then place a
ruler across the swatch and insert
two pins, 10cm apart. Count the
stitches and rows between the pins
– if you have less than the pa!ern,
your tension is too loose, so you need
to use a smaller hook, but if you have
too many, use a larger hook. It’s
usually be!er to match the stitches
than rows, because you can always
work more or fewer rows.
!" BHG KNIT#&#CROCHET#COLLECTION#$%$"

STEP 3
STEP 3 Work yrh again and
pull the yarn through the first
two loops. Yrh and pull the
yarn through the remaining
two loops to complete the
back post treble stitch.

STEP 4
STEP 4 You’ll see how the
stitch is set back, compared to
the rest of the fabric. Work
more back post treble stitches
in the same way, repeating
from Step 1.

HOW!TO!CROCHET

FOUNDATION RING

WORKING STITCHES INTO
A RING To make circles, tubes and other shapes.

Create a foundation ring for working in the round.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Make a chain the
length stated in the pa"ern
instructions. Next, insert the
crochet hook into the first
chain. Close the ring with a slip
stitch, working yrh…

STEP 2
STEP 2 …and pull yarn
through two loops on hook.
Now you’re ready to start
crocheting in the round,
following the instructions
given right.

STEP 1

STEP 2
STEP 2 Finish the treble as
usual (yrh, pull yarn through
ring, yrh, pull yarn through first
two loops, yrh, pull yarn
through two loops). Work
more stitches into the ring
as needed.

STEP 1 Make a foundation
ring and work the t-ch (3ch
for treble stitches). Work
a treble stitch as usual, but
insert hook into centre of
ring. For treble stitches, yrh,
insert hook into ring.

MAGIC LOOP

Tail end

STEP 1
STEP 1 To start a magic loop,
don’t make a slip knot. Instead,
make a loop with the yarn,
leaving a tail around 10cm long.
Make sure the tail end is under
the working yarn.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Now insert your hook
into the loop from front to
back. Wrap the working yarn
around the hook and pull the
yarn through the loop.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Make a t-ch for the
stitches you want to work
(above, we made 1 t-ch for dc).
Work your stitches into the
magic loop over both the loop
and the tail end (so two yarn
strands).

STEP 4
STEP 4 Once you’ve worked
the first round of stitches,
simply pull the tail end of yarn
to draw up the ring. Work a slip
stitch to join the last and first
stitches to finish the first round
(as instructed in guide below).

JOINING ROUNDS

TURNING CHAIN (t-ch)

HOW TO COUNT STITCHES

For an even finish, start each row with a turning chain.

In crochet, you need to add
turning chains (t-chs) to the
beginning of rows. The reason
for this is to bring the hook up
to the height of the stitches
you’re crocheting. Each basic
stitch has its own number
of chains. The table below

Check your work is correct.

tells you how many t-ch sts
form the first stitch. *For dc,
usually the turning chain does
not count as a stitch, and
the first stitch of the row is
worked into the stitch at the
base of the turning chain.

ROUNDS OR SPIRALS
Check which technique you need to use.

Some pa#erns are worked in rounds that are
joined together at the end of each round.
Other pa#erns (particularly toys) are made
using the amigurumi method, working in a
continuous spiral without closing off each
round with a slip
stitch; you just
keep going,
working into the
next stitch on the
previous round.
You may find it
helpful to mark
the first st of the
round, moving the
marker up as you
work.

short stitches such as
double crochet, look at the
plaited tops (see below top).
For taller stitches, count the
upright ‘stems’ – each ‘stem’
is counted as a stitch (see
below bo#om).

Being able to count your
stitches is very important
and helps you to ensure that
you’re following a pa#ern
correctly. It’s a good idea to
count your stitches at the
end of every row. To count

CRAB STITCH

These consist of a number of complete
stitches worked into the same place.
They can form a pa#ern or be used as a
method of increasing. This example is
working three treble stitches into a
foundation chain.

Also known as reverse double
crochet, this stitch is most commonly
used on the final round of a project for
the neat finished look it gives. For
right handers you are working le" to
right instead of the usual right to le".

HOW TO WORK STRIPES AND WEAVE IN YARN ENDS

HOW!TO!CROCHET

HOW TO EMBROIDER FACIAL FEATURES

STEP 1
STEP 1 Thread the chosen
yarn colour onto a tapestry
needle. Insert the needle from
the back of the head through
to where you want to place the
facial feature. In this example
we are embroidering a mouth.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Embroider the
desired shape. Here we have
worked 2 small straight
stitches to form a small
v-shape.

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 3 Once you are happy,
insert the needle back through
to the back of the head,
through the same space where
you began in Step 1.

STEP 4 Make sure that the 2
strands of yarn are protruding
from the same space. Make a
small knot with the strands of
yarn and weave them back into
the head.

HOW TO CHANGE COLOUR IN A SPIRAL

STEP 1
STEP 1 If you need to work
stripes in a spiral, the pa!ern
will ask you to change colour.
Always do this on the last yrh
of the last stitch of the round in
the previous colour.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Work the first stitch of
the new round in the new
colour and place a stitch
marker in this first stitch.

STEP 4

STEP 3
STEP 3 Work a round of
double crochet stitches until
you’ve worked the last stitch of
the round. The next stitch
you’ll want to work into will
have the stitch marker in it.

STEP 4 You’ll need to remove
the marker, work the first
stitch of the new round and
then replace the stitch marker
in this first stitch, to mark the
start of the round again.

HOW TO WORK DOUBLE CROCHET IN A SPIRAL

STEP 1
STEP 1 Make a foundation
ring, then work the t-ch (1ch for
dc). Work dc stitches into the
ring, but do not join the last
stitch and first stitch of this
first round with a slip stitch.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Instead, work the first
dc stitch of the second round
into the first stitch of the first
round. To do this, insert the
hook into the stitch, yrh, pull
yarn through, yrh and pull the
yarn through both loops.

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 3 You’ll now be working
in a spiral. Continue to work
more rounds of dc stitches in a
spiral, according to the pa!ern
instructions.

STEP 4 On the last round,
a"er you’ve worked the last dc
stitch, you’ll need to finish off
the spiral with a slip stitch for a
neat edge: insert the hook into
the next stitch, yrh and pull
through both loops.

If you want to learn a new stitch or you need a visual of how to stitch,
there are thousands of tutorials you can watch on YouTube.

is here to make sure you get it right first time, every time

CABLE CAST-ON METHOD
Use it for a firm edge, and when adding stitches to your work.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Make a slip knot. Insert
right-hand needle into the
stitch as if to knit. Wrap the
yarn around the point and pull
through, slipping the stitch on
to the le!-hand needle.

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 2 Push the point of the
right-hand needle between
the first and second stitches.
Wrap the yarn around the
point of the right-hand
needle.

STEP 3 Pull the loop out
with the right-hand needle,
then slip it over the tip of the
le!-hand needle.

STEP 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3
until you have the number of
stitches you require.

THUMB CAST-ON METHOD

A great all rounder, use it to cast on stitches quickly and easily. This method creates a stretchier edge.

STEP 1

STEP 2
STEP 2 Hold the tail in your
le! hand with your thumb
sticking up. Make a circle
anticlockwise with your
thumb. You should end up
with a cross on the front
of your thumb.

STEP 1 Make a slip knot and
place it on a needle, leaving
a long tail. The tail length
depends on the number of
stitches you wish to cast on.
Try a length about 3 times the
width of the project.

STEP 3

STEP 4
STEP 4 Draw the yarn
through the thumb loop and
then between the arms of
the cross. Slip your thumb
out and pull to tighten the
stitch. Repeat from Step 2.

STEP 3 Push the needle tip
along the outside of your
thumb so it passes through
the loop. Wrap the working
yarn as if to knit.

KNIT STITCH (K)

Follow our simple steps to make the most important stitch you’ll learn.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Hold the needle with
the stitches on it in your le!
hand. Keeping the yarn in your
right hand and at the back of
your work, insert the point
of the right-hand needle up
into the front loop of the first
stitch, as shown.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Now wind the yarn
anticlockwise around the
point of the right-hand needle
using your index finger. It’s
important to keep the yarn in
your right hand relatively taut
to maintain an even tension
as you go.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Bring the right-hand
needle down through the loop,
making sure that you catch the
yarn you wound around the
needle. This creates the stitch.
Don’t pull the free yarn too
tightly – let out some slack.

STEP 4
STEP 4 Push the point of the
right needle further through
the stitch you created, then
gently pull the right needle
up and off, taking the original
loop with it. You’ve now
created one knit stitch. Repeat
Steps 1-4 across the row.

the tip of the right-hand
needle and pull the yarn
through the two stitches,
kni#ing them both together.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Drop the two
stitches from the le!-hand
needle and keep the new
stitch on the right-hand
needle.

STEP 4 Kni#ing two stitches
together decreases your stitch
count by one, and the decrease

PURL STITCH (P)

To make purl stitches, just reverse the action of plain knit stitches.

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 1 Holding the needle
with all the stitches on in your
le! hand, and ensuring that
the yarn is at the front of your
work, insert the right-hand
needle through the
front loop of your first stitch
as shown.

STEP 2 Wind the yarn
around the tip of the righthand needle from right to le!
in an anticlockwise motion,
constantly keeping a slight
tension on the yarn.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Now slip the righthand needle back through the
stitch, ensuring that you catch
the yarn that you’ve already
wound around the needle.
This creates a stitch on your
right-hand needle.

STEP 4
STEP 4 Pushing the point of
the right-hand needle a li#le
further through the stitch
you’ve just created, pull the
original loop up and off the
le!-hand needle. That’s your
first purl stitch! Repeat Steps
1-4 across the row.

PURL TWO TOGETHER (P2TOG)
Purl two stitches together to give a right-leaning decrease.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Push the point of your
right-hand needle through
the first two stitches on your
le!-hand needle, going from
right to le! as you would for
a purl stitch.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Bring yarn
anticlockwise around
the needle, between the
two needles.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Pull the yarn through
both stitches as you would
when working a purl stitch,
and drop both stitches from
the le!-hand needle.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Insert the point of the
right-hand needle under the
loop or line of yarn that lies
between the two stitches.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Next slip the yarn
back on to the le!-hand
needle, ready for kni"ing.

An i-cord is a round cord that can be
used for ties, handles, toys or
embellishments. An i-cord is similar to
French kni#ing, but much more flexible
in size and stitch numbers, and is
worked on 2 double-pointed needles.
Cast on a few stitches (between 2 and
6, depending on the yarn).
STEP 1 Knit the first row.
STEP 2 At the end of the row, instead
of turning for the next row, slide the
stitches to the other end of the needle.
STEP 3 Pull the yarn firmly across the
back of the stitches to knit the next row
from the same direction as the first
row. Continue kni#ing every row in the
same direction, pulling the yarn firmly
across the back. When the i-cord is the
length required, you can either cast
off the stitches or thread the end of
the yarn through the stitches and
secure firmly.

KNIT FRONT AND BACK (KFB)
Increase 1 stitch by kni#ing into the front and back of an existing stitch.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Insert the tip of the
right-hand needle into the
front of the stitch and knit
as normal, but don’t drop it
from the le(-hand needle.

STEP 2
STEP 2 Then take the righthand needle behind the le(
and insert the tip of the
needle down through the
back of the stitch on the
le(-hand needle.

STEP 3
STEP 3 Wrap the yarn around
the tip of the right-hand
needle to knit the stitch. Bring
the needle through to make
the stitch, keeping it on the
right-hand needle.

STEP 4
STEP 4 Take the stitch off
the le(-hand needle. You will
have increased one stitch by
kni#ing twice into the original
stitch, first at the front, then
at the back.

CAST OFF

Finish off your kni#ing with this straightforward cast-off technique.

STEP 1
STEP 1 Start by kni#ing the
first two stitches of the row
as normal, but don’t go any
further along as you usually
would.

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 2 Insert the le(-hand
needle through the first stitch
as shown. Li( this stitch over
the other stitch on the righthand needle and over the
needle point.

STEP 3 Knit another stitch
so you have two on the right
needle. Li( the first stitch
over the second, then repeat
Steps 1-3.

STEP 4 When you get to the
last stitch, cut the yarn about
15cm away, feed it through
the loop and pull through
firmly to fasten off.

HOW!TO!KNIT

PICKING UP DROPPED STITCHES
A dropped stitch can be picked up easily with a crochet hook, even
if it has unravelled several rows down. To pick up knit stitches in
stocking stitch, insert the crochet hook from the front into the
dropped stitch, pick up the bar lying above the dropped stitch
and draw it through the loop of the dropped stitch.

A fun and fluffy pompom can add a cute final touch or a pop of colour to any
craft project. They’re quick and so easy to make – here’s how

BASICS OF THE POM
STEP 1 Start by making a
spherical pompom, which we’ll
sculpt into a heart shape later.
You’ll need a pink or red yarn
(or any colour you like for your
heart) in any weight. You can
use any method you prefer,
but we made ours with a
Clover pompom maker to
make the process quick and
easy (see our quick step-bystep guide below).

STEP 2 You can make the
pompom for your heart in any
size – we made ours 4cm in
diameter. If you’re using the
fork or skein method, to make
a 4cm-diameter pompom you
need 4cm yarn lengths and a
2cm diameter yarn bundle.

HOW TO MAKE SPOTS

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 4

Creating spots is really simple. Start by making
one spot, using two contrasting yarn colours:
STEP 1 Wrap a small amount of mauve yarn at
the centre of one arm. Leave a long starting
tail, then knot it to the yarn end once you’ve
finished, to help secure the spot.
STEP 2 Wrap cream yarn on either side of
the spot and on top of it, until the arm is full.
STEP 3 Wrap cream yarn around the other
arm and finish the pompom as usual – tie
cream yarn around the pompom and position
the knot at the side hinge of the gadget so
the spot sits at the front of the pompom.
STEP 4 Trim the pompom and give it a quick
wash, and it will have a mauve spot at the front.
Pompom fibres are pre"y flexible, so try
arranging your spot fibres into a different
shape, such as the heart we’ve tried here.
To make an area look bigger, fluff out the
yarn with your fingertips. To make an area
appear smaller, squeeze the fibres together.

NOTE Don’t be disappointed if your pompom’s colours don’t sit perfectly straight away! You always need to manipulate the fibres a bit.
Different colours within a pompom will always tend to look more like patches that merge together. Stick to simple effects rather than
detailed designs – for example, lots of precise spots may not end up in exactly the position you want, while narrow stripes may blend
together. Don’t give up – you might not get the result you want first time, but a li"le trial and error can lead to exciting discoveries!

Backstitch forms a neat line
which can be used alone or to
outline other stitches.
Backstitch should be worked
so that all the stitches are the
same length with no gaps
between them. Bring the
needle up at 1, down at 2, up
at 3 and so on. Continue
stitching in this way, always
working back on yourself.

1

Bring the needle up at 1. Holding the thread with one hand,
twist the needle around the thread twice. Insert the point of
the needle into the fabric close to where the thread
emerged, pull the thread to tighten the knot, then push the
needle slowly through the fabric. Make a larger knot by
increasing the number of twists.

3 2

Bring the needle up at 1, down at 2
and up at 3, but don’t pull it all the
way through the fabric. Pull the
needle up through the centre of
the thread to split it, then carry on
pulling it up through the fabric and
the thread. Work the whole
outline in this way, making sure
you always split the thread in the
centre to form even stitches.

Bring the needle up at 1, down at 2 and up at 3, working
stitches close together. Keep stitching in this way, under and
over, so that the back of the work looks the same as the front.
To maintain an even tension, always take the needle out at
the back, then back in at the front in two steps rather than in
and out in one motion.

SEWING SEAMS

Here are various methods you can use to join crochet seams using a tapestry needle or a crochet hook.

1 Sewing with a tapestry
needle is the regular and neat
way to join seams. Place two
pieces of crochet right sides
together and oversew them
as shown above, using a
tapestry or yarn needle.

2 To slip stitch a seam, place
the crochet pieces right sides
together. *Insert hook into
both edge stitches, yrh and
pull through to complete 1 slip
stitch; rep from * working into
the next edge stitches,
keeping work fairly loose.

!" BHG KNIT#&#CROCHET#COLLECTION#$%$&

3 For a dc seam, place the
crochet pieces right sides
together, or wrong sides
together for a visible seam.
Work as for slip stitch seam,
using double crochet instead
of slip stitch.

4 A useful variation on the dc
seam, the dc and chain seam is
used when less bulk and/or
greater flexibility is needed.
Work 1 double crochet and 1
chain alternately.

HOW TO SEW ON A BUTTON

STEP 1

STEP 2
STEP 2 Push the needle back
through the bu!on and the
fabric, pulling the yarn firmly.
Bring the needle out through
the fabric and bu!on, and
back down again.

STEP 1 Use a pin to mark
position of your bu!on, lining
up with the bu!onhole. Secure
yarn on wrong side of fabric
and thread onto tapestry
needle. Bring needle out at
pin mark and through bu!on.

BACKSTITCH

STEP 3
STEP 3 Take yarn to the front
of the fabric, but under bu!on
and NOT through bu!on.
Wrap yarn around twice, pull
yarn tight (to create a shank
and prevent fraying).

STEP 4
STEP 4 Take the yarn to the
back of the fabric and weave
in end to secure.

Place your kni!ed pieces RS up, side by side. Thread your yarn on
to a needle, anchor the end and weave along an edge to your start
point. Working from back to front, push your needle up between
the first and second stitches of the le# piece’s edge, then insert
the needle down between the first two stitches of the right
piece’s edge (on the equivalent row). Moving upwards, bring the
needle back up on the right piece, scooping up the bar that lies at
the back of the stitch. Return to the opposite piece and repeat.

BLOCKING YOUR FINISHED PRODUCT
Words & Photography Immediate Media; Additional Photography Getty Images

Blocking is the pinning out of each piece of kni!ing or crochet to the correct size and shape.

STEP 1 Arrange piece(s) on
a padded surface, wrong side
up. Using rust-proof pins,
anchor each piece at
each corner. Use a ruler
or tape measure to check
measurements, then place
pins at 2cm intervals, angling

them through the edge into
the padded surface.
STEP 2 Re-measure and
check that the lines are
straight. Re-pin as necessary
to correct the shape and size.
STEP 3 Check the ball band
for pressing instructions, as

any special requirements will
be listed there. Synthetics
are usually not pressed at all.
Synthetic garments can be
pinned to shape as above
then dampened. Leave to
dry naturally.
STEP 4 If pressing is

recommended, cover with a
damp cloth and steam each
piece, but DO NOT PRESS.
STEP 5 When pieces are
cool (or dry, for synthetics),
remove pins and complete
item by following the
make-up instructions. ■

NOTE#

The pa!ern of this Headband has
been created by kni!ing two
colours per row, alternating the
colour for each stitch. Then two
different colours are worked for
the next row, and so on. When you
have worked through all four
colour pairings, return to the first
pairing and start again. It’s
traditionally recommended that
you run your yarns up the side of
your work with colour changes
such as this, but there are too

TOP TIP

When choosing colours for your headband, take them all
out and lay them next to each other. If you have more than
one blue or pink shade, rotate them into place until you get
the best combination.

MEASUREMENTS

Measurements can be adapted to
any size tablecloth

TENSION

Tension is not critical, but it may
affect the yarn quantities required

ABBREVIATIONS

NOTES

Edging is worked in short rows
and sewn to the tablecloth at the
end. The yarn quantities listed are
for a 140x230cm tablecloth. If
embellishing a cloth of a different
size, the yarn quantities needed
will vary. Change colour on the
final yrh of row before colour
change is indicated. Carry the
unused colours up the edge ready
to use again. When working the
edging, work over the carried
yarns to conceal them. Flowers
are worked in a continuous spiral
without closing off each round
with a slip stitch. You may find it
useful to mark the first st of the
round, moving the marker up as
you go.

NOTES

Stool Cover is made up of motifs
which are joined together at the
end. You can adapt the pa!ern to
other square- or rectangle-shaped
stools. Measure the top sections
and divide the result by 10 to find
out how many motifs you will need
for the width and length of the top
section. If the measurements
don’t divide near enough to 10cm
then you can adjust the size of the
Squares; either by changing your
hook size or working extra rounds.
If you do this measure the motif
and divide your stool
measurements by this number.
Refer to Diagram below when
making up the Cover.

INTERIM FINISHING
Weave in ends, using yarn tails
where you joined in yarn to close
any holes at underarms. Block

any yarn care instructions on the

EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is worked around the
lower edge of the garment, above
the rib hem (see image for a
guide). We recommend using an
embroidery hoop to keep the
kni"ed fabric at an even tension,
but take care not to stretch the
garment too much because that
might distort your embroidery.
Trace outlines using backstitch
before beginning each section
(see image for a guide). Work the
following stitches and colours over
the following sections, using the
image as a guide: Satin stitch, Split
stitch, French knots, Backstitch.
For examples of embroidery
stitches turn to page 77.
STEMS AND LEAVES
Use 1 strand of Yarns B and C
together and work using split
stitch.
PETALS
Satin stitch and straight stitch
using any colours desired.
FLOWER CENTRES
Using Yarn D and various colours,
work French knots.

The Panel is worked in rows
throughout. There are Charts
(le$), which you will need to refer
to when making the Panel. Each
small square represents 1dc. Read
all RS rows from right to le$ and
WS rows from le$ to right. A
square marked with an x
represents a bobble. The first few
rows of the Chart have been
wri#en out to guide you.
Rather than carrying the yarn
across your work, wind off smaller
balls of each colour. When
changing colour leave the unused
colour on the WS ready to use
again on the next row.

PATTERNS

The charted area should measure
108cm long. If you need to make a
shorter edge, use the tension to
select the number of rows you
need to work. To make the edging
longer, you can work the rows of
the Chart backwards from the end
until you reach the desired length.

NOTES

To begin, measure the front of
your jumper from the shoulder
seam to the hem and across the
bust. Cut the front from your
jumper up to the shoulder and
armhole seams cu!ing close to
the side, arm and shoulder seams.
Squares are made to fit across the
front of your jumper. Each Square
should be 1⁄4 of the width of the
front. You can adapt the pa!ern
for the Square by working fewer
rounds, or by working additional
rounds. Each dc round should add
approx 1cm to the measurements
and each tr round should add
approx 2cm to the measurements.
JUMPER EMBELLISHMENT

SHOULDER EXTENSIONS
Place markers on the top of the
joined Squares to mark out the
neckline sp. We recommend a
neck space of approx 17-23cm

neck shaping on the back of your
jumper you should use this
measurement.
You will need to have a multiple of
3 sts for the Shoulder Extensions.

WHY!NOT!TRY…

Circular needles are mainly for kni!ing in the round, but
they are also a practical solution for the back panel and
ribbed front edgings of this cardi, as they are long enough
to comfortably hold the large number of stitches in this
bulky super chunky yarn.

NOTES

The Tunic is made up of a Back
and Front piece. Both pieces
are worked from four separate
Cable Stitch Pa%erns. The stitch
pa%erns are wri%en out first and
referred to throughout the pa%ern
for the Tunic. The Back is approx
8cm longer than the Front due
to a larger Rib. You can slightly
adjust the length of the Front or
Back by working a longer or
shorter ch at the start of the Rib.

TOP!TIP

Add a unique touch to your bag, by swapping the braided
tie for an i-cord one? Super-quick to knit, you could even
create one in a bold, contrasting colour for that special,
individual finish. See page 72 for i-cord instructions.

Lining
1 Cut a piece of lining fabric to the
width of the bag plus seam
allowances, and twice the depth
of the bag plus seam allowances.
2 Fold over one of the top edges
of lining and stitch hem.
3 Put lining inside the bag, fold

over and pin the second top edge
hem to fit just below the top of the
bag. It is be"er for the lining to be
slightly shorter than the bag to
stop it being loose at the top.
Stitch this hem.
4 Pin side seams of lining, try
inside bag and adjust to fit. It is
be"er to have the lining slightly
narrower than the bag to stop it
being loose, so that the kni"ed
piece is eased to fit the lining
piece.
5 Sew side seams then pin the
lining into kni"ed bag and hand
sew in place. Sew the handles
onto the finished bag.
6 Cut 6 lengths of yarn 100cm
long, and plait to form a tie. Thread
the tie through the eyelets.

Lace is transformed once blocked so it’s worth taking your
time to get this right. Before blocking, make sure your fabric
is soaked for 10 - 30 mins, depending how quickly water is
absorbed. Gently squeeze out any air bubbles so the fabric
is properly submerged. For instructions see page 79.

STEP 1
STEP 1 The half treble crochet
has the standard 2 loops at the top
of the stitch as well as a third loop
that wraps around the centre. Yrh
and insert hook into the third loop
at the back of the fabric.

STEP 2
STEP 2 From the WS of the work
you can see the third loop si#ing
just below the top of the stitch.
Continue to work the half treble in
the normal way; yrh and pull up a
loop.

Depending on the pa#ern, you may
also work the htr into the third loop
at the front of your work.

NOTES

Pa"ern is worked in the amigurumi
method. Work stitches
continuously in a spiral without
closing off each round with a slip
stitch. It may help to use a stitch
marker in the first stitch of each
round, moving it up as you work. If
you are making this toy for a child
under 36 months, do not use safety
eyes; instead, embroider eyes with
stranded co"on.

Parts of this pa"ern are worked in
the amigurumi method. Work
stitches in a continuous spiral
without closing off each round
with a slip stitch. You may find it
helpful to mark the first stitch of
the round, moving the marker up
as you go. The pa"ern is made in 2
colourways: blue and pink. The
instructions for the Blue Pegasus
are wri"en first with the Pink
Pegasus in brackets. Where a

single colour is listed, use the
same for both colorways. This
pa"ern has been worked using the
yarn under method. When
working your stitches, insert the
hook into the stitch, turn the hook
so it’s facing down and pull the
yarn through under the hook
before completing the stitch
indicated.

NOTES!

Use separate balls of yarn for each

(intarsia method).

CHART!NOTES!

For Back and Front begin the
Chart with the rib rows, then
switch to stocking stitch (working
RS rows as K and WS rows as P). If
you want the design on the Back
to be the reverse of the Front, as
shown, when working the Body
Chart for the Back read oddnumbered (RS) rows from le# to
right and read even-numbered
(WS) rows from right to le#; this is
opposite to the usual way and
creates the mirror image. Do the
same for the Sleeve Chart for
Right Sleeve. When working the

odd-numbered (RS) rows from
right to le# and even-numbered
(WS) rows from le# to right.

NOTES

Cardigan is worked in rows
throughout. The upper Back and
part of the Sleeves are worked
first. The Fronts and Sleeves are
worked from the opposite side of
the foundation ch to the end of
the Sleeve section. Once the
Sleeves have been seamed
together the Body is worked in
one piece over the rem sts. The
4mm hook is used for the majority
of the pa"ern with the 3.75mm
used for the Sleeve Edging and
Bu"on Band only. If you don’t
have a 3.75mm hook we
recommend using a 3.5mm hook
for these sections.

Cushion is made up of 2 pieces.
The Back is made from a single
square of denim and the Front is
made from 23 Hexagons and 44
Triangles. You will need approx
75x75cm of denim in total to cut
shapes from. Cut shapes using the

around the edge of each shape
and crochet borders into the
holes. When making up the Front
refer to the Layout Diagram over

TO MAKE UP
Take the large piece of denim and
lay flat with WS facing you. Fold
over 10cm on both ends of the
longer sides so piece measures
45x45cm. Place the Front on top

of the back with RS facing you,
lining up the zigzag edge with the
folded edge on the back. You will
need to fold edges of Hexagons to
the inside of the cushion cover.
Whipstitch the zigzag edges in

place. Use the leather punch to
make 52 holes evenly across the
top and bo!om edge of back
piece. With RS of back facing you,
join yarn in first hole across top of
back and work 2dc in each hole

across. [104 sts]
Fasten off.
Repeat on the bo!om edge.
Position cushion insert and
whipstitch the rows to the Front of
the Cushion. Weave in all ends.

SUPER STARS LAYOUT DIAGRAM

HOW TO OVERSEW MOTIFS TOGETHER

STEP 1
STEP 1 Also known as whip stitch.
With WS together, thread needle
with yarn and insert into the back
loops only of the corner stitches
on both pieces. Leave a fairly long
tail.

STEP 2
STEP 2 *Insert needle from
bo!om to top into the back loops
of the next 2 sts. Repeat from *
along the motif edges, sewing
together the inner loops of
corresponding stitches.

STEP 3
STEP 3 When you reach the next
corner, you could fasten off. Or
carry on with the next 2 motifs for
a continuous seam that forms a
strong join on blankets and means
