The Spring Garden Baby Blanket has been a popular pattern of mine and now you can enjoy this pattern free, here on my blog.  The blanket was inspired by the gorgeous colours Cath Kidston uses and is aimed at an advanced beginner, available in 2 sizes.  The larger size is great for a cot or even a sofa throw.  The smaller size can be used for the car seat, buggy or crib.

Hi everyone, sorry this post is a little late.  We have been super busy with half term activities, days out and visiting family.   So continuing with the stash busting, more granny squares, large ones this time.  For this blanket I have used Stylecraft Special dk in shades of Pale Rose, Mocha, Parchment, Duck Egg, Soft Peach and Cream.  I joined the squares with single crochet from the back in Pale Rose, which leaves a lovely dotted line of colour on the front of the blanket.  A simple border of pretty shells to finish it off.

For this blanket I used a round of bobble edging in Duck Egg to finish it off. Ta Da! Blanket four finished. Now available in my Etsy store...  The sta

For my first blanket I wanted some very girly.  I first rummaged through my stash finding all the pinks and purples and any other shades that were colourful but nothing too dark.  I even used up some of those dodgy variegated yarns that I never could find a project for.  You know, the ones you buy on a whim, sure that you will find something amazing to make with them; but in reality they sit in a box under the bed never to see the light of day again. My first square... ...led to another...  ...and another... ...and another.  Making granny squares is very addictive. Very soon I had a whole stack of t
