Sweet Pea Crochet: Beautiful baby blankets & matching gifts

Product Information

With 20 projects in total, you are spoilt for choice, and each gift set is worked in coordinated colorways and styles. That is such a hard question, but I think it is a traditional granny square. You can sit and watch the world go by without thinking too much and yet produce a beautiful piece of timeless crochet. I think my proudest achievement was taking wonderful woodland creature illustrations by Posy + Petal and turning them into crochet designs for amigurumi figures (pictured). I was so pleased with the little family of four creatures, Posy, Petal, Maple and Clover.

row: Work 3ch, then work 1tr in the st at the base of the beginning 3ch, *work 3tr in the space between the next 2 tr-groups; repeat from * to the last 2 sts, skip 1 st then work 1tr in last st, turn.

Your favourites of the week.......

My brief was to design a blanket with a spring-like feel that was suitable for a child. It had to be a pattern that would suit a beginner who can work double and treble crochet stitches.

Next you are working granny stripes. Which are just like the stitches used to make a classic granny square. Many of the smaller projects such as cozy beanie hats can be finished in an evening, so they are satisfying to make and even more satisfying to give away.

About Me

row: Work 3ch, skip the st at the base of the beginning 3ch and then work 1 treble (tr) into the next st. Work 1tr into each st to the end of row.

Third round: Change to dark green, join to st to left of top right corner st. Work as second round. Read about how Sue Rawlinson became such a successful crochet influencer and designer in our exclusive interview.That's it for part one. We hope you enjoyed it and are looking forward to part two. It will be released on April 6 so stay tuned! Far too many influences to list but since my early days of blogging I have always been inspired by these three amazing, creative women Sarah Shrimpton, Kate Eastwood and Mandy O'Sullivan. Second round: Work 1ch, then work 1dc in each st to the corner. Work 3dc in corner. Continue the round referring to the pattern. Work slip stitch in beginning of 1ch to complete the round.
