Baby Circular Blanket..

I found a crochet pattern I had downloaded ages ago and didn't have any idea what the blanket looked like until the pattern started to emerge and then I realised it was from a Ravelry free download. I think that it looks really pretty now I can see the almost finished result.

It's still a work in progress...

I'm using a cream coloured  Baby Double Knitting acrylic yarn

Supplier is from Jarol Supersaver

Book Bag...

I enjoy making book bags and I saw this interesting crochet pattern in a You Tube Tutorial from 

Yarntopia by Nadia 

Crocheted in a Chunky weight yarn from a local stockist of Teddy Avril Chunky

The yarn comes in lots of lovely colours.

The pretty Mandala acts as the book flap and was really interesting to make following Nadia's excellent step by step instruction

Scrap Blanket..

Like everyone who knits and crochets I always have little bits of yarn left over.

I decided to put them all together and make a traditional granny square blanket made out of scraps of yarn

Blue and white Blanket..

I had some James Brett Baby Marble DK yarn which I combined with a white DK baby yarn to make this lovely and quite large granny square baby blanket

Summer Special ~ A Candy Cane Virus Blanket ..

I recently bought this yarn and didn't know what to make with it and having just completed a Virus Shawl I wanted to see if I could turn the Virus Stitch from a triangle shawl into a square blanket.

Searching on You Tube I came across another excellent tutorial from Bella Coco with easy-peasy instructions on how to make this rather pretty square blanket.

The yarn I used is from the new Pattercake range of DK baby yarn from Sirdar Snuggly


This shade is Candy Cane and I used a size 4mm crochet hook

Blue Shawl Summer..

 I saw this pattern on The Crochet Crowd's channel on You Tube and I had this lovely DK yarn I wanted to use for a project

Ombre Luxury 100g Knitting yarn from  the Home&Co Collection at B&M

72% Acrylic 18%Wool 10%Nylon

This sample square matched the book I was reading !

The finished shawl is a perfect length to wear as a wrap or in winter it will be a cosy scarf.


The wool is really soft and the colours in the yarn are a lovely mix of light and dark

Baby White V-Stitch Blanket..

Following on from my success with the yellow V-Stitch blanket I have been commissioned to make a white baby blanket in V-stitch.

Edged with a shell effect, it looks really pretty

Crocheted in Stylecraft Bambino in white DK yarn
