Candy canes and gingerbread

Designed by Lindsey Newns of Lottie & Albert, this

blanket design has a hint of vintage, taking seasonal inspiration from favourite festive treats and retro biscuit tins.

Featuring a central gingerbread house, with borders of fairy lights and candy cane stripes, the blanket is hooked in Hayfield Bonus DK.

The crochet-along runs over six weeks and the first of six free weekly patterns with video tutorials is already available – so pop along to sirdar.com to join in the festive fun now.
