“My New Year’s resolution was to publish a design in a magazine, so I’ve already achieved my goal thanks to Simply Crochet’s amazing Hook to Hook challenge. I wanted to create a spring design that was light and fresh, and the wide range of rainbow colours provided were absolutely perfect for this May Flower bag. The Sirdar Happy range is fantastic to work with and the colours really pop. I can’t wait to see the readers’ finished makes. Enjoy!” Find Lara on Instagram at @hookedonewe_x

“When I was given the opportunity to participate in the Hook to Hook challenge, I was over the moon. I wanted to design something simple, fun and colourful that used basic, beginner-friendly stitches. My bag is perfect for taking on a road trip, going to the market or toting your crochet supplies when you head outside. It was actually inspired by the bird feeder outside my sunroom window. I often listen to the birds chirping, and it makes me smile.” Find Rilla on Instagram at @Rilla2u
