Humans have always created. Even in prehistoric societies where survival was precarious, people went beyond the utilitarian and added decorative elements to everyday things such as baskets and pots. Beauty didn’t make these items more useful, but it satisfied something in people’s souls. Even now we don’t fully understand what drives our creative impulses. We do, however, know that creativity can help our brains the way physical exercise helps our bodies. Research on cognitive activities (such as doing crossword puzzles) has confirmed what crafters have suspected all along: projects make us happier, and they build better brains. While planning a project or actually crocheting it, we might look inward—at memories, emotions, the desire to please a loved one with a handmade gift, the challenge of a new stitch—to stimulate our minds as our hands get to work. We might also look outward, thinking about crocheters who taught us and inspired us, using stitch motifs from the past, or borrowing color combinations from other cultures. If you like to crochet against a background of music, audiobooks, or television, there’s even more sensory stimulation thrown into the mix. Our brains might be busier than our hands as we crochet! Photo by George Boe Yet in the middle of all this busy-ness, there’s a quiet stillness where we’re making connections. New neural pathways form in our brains, offering multiple physical and psychological benefits. We connect to crocheters of the past, such as the nineteenth-century dowry-stitchers of Eastern Europe (page 54), and to present-day crafters around the world, such as Thai artist Patty Phuangkhum, who crochets amazing life-like flowers (page 57); NewYork based artist Olek, who covered a house in filet to challenge our notion of home in a world with 65 million refugees (page 4); and to the remote indigenous villages of South America, where people have inventively adapted crochet for their own needs (page 54). Yarn over hook and you’re part of this incredible family. In this issue of Interweave Crochet, we invite you to fully embrace all the ways crochet can ground us and connect us to each other. Through projects that surprise and delight, through skill-building (learn to read charts, page 12), and through the perspectives and stories of our crochet family far and wide, we hope you find your creative stimulation. And have a very peaceful new year. Yours in yarn, Lisa Shroyer ®

The Craft Yarn Council has set up guidelines to bring uniformity to yarn labels and published patterns. Yarn Weight: The yarn weight symbols that appear in “sources for supplies” are based on the system outlined above. We have consulted the yarn label, the manufacturer’s website, and other resources, to classify these yarns as accurately as possible. We continue to offer photos of each yarn to help you visualize the yarns used. *Guidelines only: The above reflect the most commonly used gauges and needle or hook sizes for specific yarn categories.
Crochet Gauge To check gauge, chain 30 to 40 stitches using recommended hook size. Work in pattern stitch until piece measures at least 4" (10 cm) from foundation chain. Lay swatch on flat surface. Place a ruler over swatch and count number of stitches across and number of rows down (including fractions of stitches and rows) in 4" (10 cm). Repeat two or three times on different areas of swatch to confirm measurements. If you have more stitches and rows than called for in instructions, use a larger hook; if you have fewer, use a smaller hook. Repeat until gauge is correct.
www.interweave.com Look for this icon to indicate bonus content at www.interweave.com.
Concentration Ratings: LITTLE CONCENTRATION REQUIRED. Straightforward stitching means your hands can work on autopilot. SOME CONCENTRATION REQUIRED. Easily memorized stitch patterns and minimal shaping might require some focus and counting.
PLUS SIZE
Look for this icon to indicate garments that include XL sizes.
FAIR AMOUNT OF FOCUS REQUIRED. Involved stitch patterns, shaping, or assembly require fairly constant concentration. EXTREME FOCUS REQUIRED. Unusual techniques or complex stitch patterns and shaping require constant focus.
