PART 1
It's a mystery...
Get hooked on our new mystery quilt design by Annelies Baes.
Find the pattern in issue 73 Inside Crochet magazine.

This issue we bring you the start of an exciting new mystery blanket project. Inspired by traditional patchwork quilts, Annelies Baes has designed a bold, modern geometric pattern, which will be sure to keep you hooked for the next three months! Annelies has become well known for creating quirky, simple to make and utterly modern projects and as this stunning blanket is revealed, it will become clear that it is no different. Composed of 12 differing yet harmonious geometric blocks, this month we reveal the first six variations, which provide a great exercise in playing with stitches, textures and colour.
