Is there a more whimsical textile than crochet? The ‘70s-style knit is ubiquitous right now thanks to the season’s retro design revival. At Delpozo, an intricate floral dress was a standout. Arielle de Pinto’s delicate two-tone bracelet is a modernized take on the look, while Kat and Ibin’s lamp casts a crafty shadow. To truly get a sense of the potential of the technique, flip through the new book, Crochet Coral Reef, for a behind-the-seams look at a worldwide – and almost 8,000-person strong – effort to create a giant crochet seascape. The finished product is downright unbe-weave-able.
