Centre Court Set
Game, Set, Stitch.
Strawberries and cream. White linen. The satisfying thwack of a perfectly timed backhand. Some atmospheres are just worth crocheting.
The Centre Court Set captures that feeling — the unhurried elegance of a summer afternoon on the court, where the dress code is all white and the snacks are the main event.
Skills & Techniques
The patterns in the Centre Court Set span from beginner(ish) to intermediate in difficulty — a natural next step for makers who've finished a few beginner projects and are ready to add something new.
Surface crochet runs through several patterns in this set and is worth learning if you haven't tried it yet. You'll also find color changes, front and back loop construction, and embroidery detail. Spencer the Tennis Ball is a great pick for makers trying surface crochet for the first time.
Coco the Tennis Pro doesn't ask for the room. She walks onto the court and just has it. This intermediate pattern is for makers who want to capture that grounded, quietly magnetic energy in yarn—the kind of player you can't look away from. Partner her with Carlos for mixed doubles and it’s game, set, and absolutely match.

Spencer the Tennis Ball
Round, reliable, and genuinely the most content character in the set.
Spencer the Tennis Ball has the most genuinely content smile of anyone in the collection. He's round. He's simple. He shows up reliably and cheerfully every single time and doesn't overthink it. This beginner(ish) pattern works up fast and fits right alongside Carlos and Coco—or anywhere, honestly. Spencer is good wherever he lands.

Hugh the Dipped Strawberry
Sweet, bold, and absolutely the best part of the afternoon.
One berry, endless possibilities. Hugh the Dipped Strawberry is a beginner(ish) pattern that moonlights as the perfect gift all year round. Go classic with strawberries and cream for a Wimbledon treat, or dip him in chocolate for something a little more romantic. However you style him, Hugh is all the luxury of a fancy dipped berry with absolutely none of the melting.
