The Bouquet of Flowers Afghan CAL is here! Last year lots of you loved the Friendship blanket so much. This year the designers were asking me to organise another one! So I did. Why call it the Bouquet of Flowers Afghan? It’s been a long …
The Prairie Fields Afghan really does remind me of Kansas fields with the tall native grasses swaying, which I feel is represented in the offset fans in the blanket. The straight columns represent the corn fields, in my mind. That Feeling I really wanted something …
We couldn’t miss the opportunity to bring you a pattern for the Robin’s Cables Blanket now could we?
It uses the same stitch combo as the Robin’s Poncho, hat and scarf, coffee beanie cozy and mug cozy (which will be released soon).
I mean, this combo is gorgeous!! It has a traditional look to it with a modern twist.
You get the look of cables without actually having to crochet cables! So these patterns are great for confident beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
Just take a look at this texture…
You can see why it was impossible to not include a blanket or afghan in this collection. This is a WIP photo I took of my blanket.

I have designed this blanket with measurements for 5 of the more common sizes
We do give the stitch multiple for you to adjust the size of this one. It is worked side to side.
Now, I’m not going to lie – this one is a bit of a yarn hog. I used 3250 yards for a throw size but oh my goodness ! The weight is perfect, its is so cozy and it looks just stunning.

The Friendship Blanket CAL is here! I can hardly believe it. This is something that I have been thinking about for almost a year, and have been working on since September. Yet it seems to have come round so quickly! Why call it the Friendship …
At the end of 2020 we decided that we were going to come up with a mini course to teach people how to corner to corner (also referred to as C2C)!
This can be such a fun technique and there are so many gorgeous patterns out there that call for this. Both Sara and myself have made our fare share of corner to corner items over recent years. We wanted to help you learn before we released our bee afghan and all of the other wonderful c2c patterns that we want to bring you! Check out the bee afghan below
Anyway, back to learning corner to corner!
To help you I designed this super sweet bunny pillow. It uses only 2 colours and is a small one to start with. Because it is square we increase and decrease at the same time so you get used to both techniques before we look at rectangles. It looks simple enough doesn’t it?
I have split this course into 3 parts to break down what you need to learn in the best way possible!
I did a little video and uploaded it to YouTube to explain how it will work.
You can get the free pattern HERE and work through it on the video tutorials with me.
This goes live on 9th February 2021
By the end of this part you will be VERY confident with the c2c stitch, increases and decreases.
Below is the Right handed version of this part of the tutorial

Most afghans and blankets that use c2c are rectangles.
