The blanket uses Rowan Summer Tweed and Rowan All Seasons Cotton to create a rustic effect in beautiful outdoor colours. Sausage rolls, jam sandwiches, thermal flasks full of tea – there's nothing more idyllic than a picnic by the riverbank! Remember to twist your yarns together mid-row to prevent holes forming."

1960s Crochet - Christmas Stockings

Crochet Christmas Stockings

My mum made me one of these as a child and loved it! I know Christmas in August, WHAT!! My thought is if you start one, or two of these now you will have plenty of time to have it all tucked away for when the hectic festive crafting season is upon us!

"These stockings are so full of festive cheer – and they're really easy to make! Each design uses a different granny square as a base, just play about with the colour combos. Choose from a traditional scheme or why not incorporate a splash of bright pink for a modern twist!"
