A Funchal-based crochet practice making one-off pieces in Atlantic colours, including a bobble-stitch cotton pencil case.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The featured pencil case measures about 20 cm and uses cotton, bobble stitch, and a crocheted zip lining. The maker says each one-off piece may depend on a single skein of yarn and that she works without keeping patterns, counting outward from the centre. Her process includes washing, blocking, and balcony drying, while custom requests are discussed by email with a stated four-week turnaround.
