On 6 February Her Majesty The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service. To celebrate this anniversary, events have been taking place throughout the year, culminating in a four-day UK bank holiday weekend.
If you’re planning a street party or would like to use your crochet skills to honour Her Majesty’s milestone, we’ve spotted some fun patterns and yarns.
Biffsugar Yarns (www.biffsugaryarns.etsy.com) has launched a celebratory collection of yarns, while @gemmipop has been busy making Jubilee bunting, and is selling her PDF pattern online.
Laura Sutcliffe has been busy making crowns. Find links to buy the patterns on Instagram @lauralovescrochet.
King Cole has produced a fun pattern for Royal Guard skittles! It’s available free with a purchase of £15 or more from any high street stockist of King Cole yarns.
