This new Honeycomb Baby Blanket Kit from Wool Couture includes five shades of Cotton Candy yarn in a choice of colour combinations, from pretty pastels to calming neutrals. The hexagon motifs look striking but the pattern is easy enough for a beginner to try – and the kit would be the perfect gift for a new mum on maternity leave too! The kit includes the printed pattern, a darning needle plus all the yarn you need and optional hook.
