A Year of Crochet Blankets

A Year of Crochet Blankets by Naomi Harreman & Jolanda Verschiere takes on the ultimate crochet project – twelve gorgeous blankets to make in your favourite yarns, free from the stress of complex sizing.

Inside you'll find lace-like filet crochet designs, blankets worked in blocks and strips for easy on-the-go making and others worked sampler-style with a mix of stitch patterns. Every pattern comes with instructions for widening or lengthening the blanket, so you can size it to suit.

Projects are rated Easy, Medium or Difficult, so there's something for beginners and more seasoned crocheters alike. Along the way you'll pick up modern techniques – the long tail foundation for a stretchy start and the magic ring for seamless centres – plus a clever colour-coded chart system that separates front and back rounds in blue and black, making tricky patterns easier to follow.
