This simple but effective shawl design is made asymmetrically but because the crochet maths works out it finishes as a symmetrical triangular shape. It uses a combination of UK groups of 3 trebles and linen stitch or US groups of 3 double crochets and linen stitch and finishes with a fairly straightforward but very pretty border.

This small baby blanket is worked with the right side facing and has a lovely lacy section plus the texture of popcorn and front and back post stitches. It has a 13 row repeating pattern and the stitch count is given for the border in case you want to make the blanket larger. The blanket can be made with any yarn using the appropriate size hook...

This shawl is ideal for a cool summer evening as it’s made using either cotton and acrylic yarn or a pure cotton yarn.

This blanket is worked corner to corner and was inspired by Attic24’s Cosy Stripe blanket. The finished blanket lies beautifully square with no twisting. The pattern includes photographs and charts. You can make the blanket with any yarn using an appropriate size hook though thicker yarn will produce a larger blanket and thinner yarn will produ...

It is probably advisable that you are familiar with conventional corner to corner crochet before attempting this pattern.

The shawl ends up being a perfectly symmetrical triangular shape although the pattern starts at one corner and the rows gradually increase in length, finishing at the other corner and centre point of the shawl. The lacy, open bead stitch section produces a delicate texture,separated by sections of treble crochet/double crochet stitches.

This blanket is made using the corner to corner join as you go technique. If you have never done corner to corner crochet before, I reccommend that you become familiar with the conventional corner to corner crochet technique first.

Yarn requirements

This attractive pattern is written for both dk/8 ply and 4 ply/fingering weight yarns. The blue blanket is made with 4 ply/fingering yarn and the pink one is made with dk/8 ply yarn

This baby blanket has a lovely texture and is made using 5 colours of Stylecraft Special DK. You need an odd number of colours to get them across both parts of the pattern. The blanket is shown in two different colour schemes:

This pattern was written for Mia of Brambles and Me (independent yarn dyer) to showcase some of her beautiful hand dyed yarn at a series of UK yarn festivals.

This attractive wrap with a diamond lattice pattern and a zigzag edge is made using UK tr/ US dc and ch for the main part of the shawl and UK dc/ US sc, ch and puff stitches for the neat edging. The pattern includes several photographs and charts and has been tested in Australia, Singapore, the US and the UK. The stitch count is also given so t...

The front post stitches give a lovely texture to this shawl. I strongly recommend you watch this video which shows how the stitch placement works before starting. It is in US terms but the demonstration is very clear.

This shawl was made using one whirl of Blackcurrant Squeeze Me. It uses UK trebles / US double crochets and puff stitches to create the interlocking diamond shapes. It is a 6 row pattern repeat. The shawl could be made larger by adding a complementary whirlette and making more pattern repeats. While most of the pattern testers used whirls, at l...

The shawl pattern is a straightforward 8 row repeat. The edging is more complex and I would say this is of an intermediate standard. The pattern includes close up photos to help.Two out of three makers completed the shawl with one Scheepjes Whirl. A third tester ran out of yarn on the final row and finished off with a Scheepjes Whirlette. If yo...

This pattern was inspired by the Peacock Blanket made by Heather of The Patchwork Heart. It was in shades of blue and green and I thought, “I could do something with that.” In May 2017 I went to Kefalonia (a Greek Island in the Ionian Sea) and I was amazed by all the colours in the sea. I found the textured ripple stitch, which seemed very appr...

This is my first published pattern for a blanket I designed which has had lots of positive comments in my local yarn shop. I wanted to create the effect of a stained glass window and was inspired by a colour scheme for a hot water bottle cover made by the Patchworkheart.
