Bella CocoBella Coco

structure and welcome in the new year
by setting some personal goals. I have
so many ideas for my brand Bella Coco
Crochet in 2020! First of all, I’d really like
to get a studio that I can ilm in and work
from. It’s great working from home, but
it does have its downfalls – my garage is
FULL of yarn! Crochet Society is going so
well too and I have so many more ideas
up my sleeve. It’s been great listening to
subscribers and their suggestions to really
make this box something special. Perhaps
some kit boxes in the future? Crochet
accessories? Yarn? I still love making
YouTube video tutorials, but I would love
to start making more project-based videos
too – things that we can all create from
beginning to end together.

Garments are my next ‘crochet adventure’
for sure. I don’t know why I’ve been so
scared to try them, but I’ve made a start
on tackling my fears by following other
patterns and reading up on them, so
watch this space.

CROCHET MASTERCLASS

I irst shared the Jasmine Stitch tutorial on my website. It’s a perfect stitch for those

that love the look of my Puff Flower tutorial but don’t want the hassle of changing

colour and sewing in the ends! It’s a springy, textured stitch that would work well on a

quick-make cowl!
