Crochet In & Out - 35 designs to enjoy at home and outdoors

Crochet In & Out brings together 35 contemporary crochet designs created to accompany you both indoors and outdoors. Among the projects you will find rugs, cushions, wall hangings, blankets, bags, backpacks and multifunctional accessories for everyday use. All the patterns follow a clearly defined graphic aesthetic, with motifs such as stripes, squares, cherries, diamonds or polka dots.

One of the key aspects of the book is its versatility: each project can be adapted to different contexts. For example, a rug can be used as a decorative element in the living room or as a mat for the garden. This approach makes Crochet In & Out a flexible, modern and practical proposal for those who want to apply graphic and functional crochet in their daily lives.

Yes, Crochet In & Out can be an excellent choice for those who are just starting out. Although some projects involve a certain level of detail, Molla Mills includes at the beginning of the book a clear guide to basic techniques, step-by-step visual explanations and advice on choosing yarns and hooks. This makes each design accessible, even for those without prior experience of graphic crochet.

In addition, the book’s approach allows you to progress gradually. You can start with simpler patterns and increase the level of difficulty as you gain confidence. Thanks to its visual instructions and direct language, Crochet In & Out is ideal for learning through practice, with quick and motivating results.

In Crochet In & Out, Molla Mills suggests using accessible and durable materials, with a preference for cotton yarns of different thicknesses. Each project includes specific recommendations for yarn, hook type and tips for making tension swatches. The approach is highly practical: readers are encouraged to reuse materials, experiment with new fibres or adapt the pieces to the resources they have available.

In addition, the author provides suggestions on how to choose the most suitable yarn depending on the intended use of the project (indoors or outdoors). For example, for cushions or backpacks, durable and washable yarns are recommended. This technical guidance makes Crochet In & Out a valuable tool for learning how to choose and combine materials thoughtfully.

The main difference of Crochet In & Out lies in its thematic approach: it is Molla Mills’ first book to feature projects specifically designed for use both indoors and outdoors. This “multi-space” concept is reflected in the design, the choice of materials and the portability of the pieces. Visually, it maintains her usual graphic style but introduces new forms and colour combinations that set it apart from her previous titles.

In addition, this book includes reinterpretations of some of her most iconic designs, adapted to new dimensions and functions. The result is a work that combines the freshness of the new with the strength of the tried and tested—perfect for those already familiar with her work and for those discovering Molla Mills’ creative universe for the first time.
