Labour of Love

In issue 60 we release our brand new mystery CAL project... here's what you'll need to join in.

This pretty blanket uses basic crochet as well as raised stitches, and also makes great use of colour and eventually appliqué within the design. We hope you will enjoy the progression – even beginner crocheters can start at step one and add to their skill level as they advance through the steps.

What you'll need:

To crochet the full blanket, you will need the following amounts of yarn:
● Rico Design Essentials Merino DK, 100% Merino wool, 50g/120m/131yds (You can use any DK weight yarn to achieve a similar effect, but we would recommend using similar colours as the colour scheme is intrinsic to the surprising finished design.)
