Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran- Baby Blanket

The Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is a luxurious soft, yet practical yarn making it perfect for blankets, clothing and accessories, and is available in 32 shades

The cashmere and merino wool is blended with acrylic to make it super soft but also machine washable.

I used my Honeycomb Diamonds Blanket pattern to make a small baby blanket measuring 28x32 inches and chose 4 main colours:

Stone (27) 2x50g

Baby pink (603) 2x50g

Grey (9) 2x50g

Lilac (84) 2x50g

plus White (25) 1x50g for the border

In total I used 360g of yarn and used each main colour for 16 rows. You could adjust this to just 1 solid colour throughout or use less rows of several different colours to create a fun striped effect.

I added a simple border using 4 rows of double crochet (UK terms) see pattern for alternative border using puff stitches

Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is available exclusively from lovecrafts.com and comes in 32 beautiful shades.

The pattern would suit any yarn that has a small amount of stretch in it and it's really simple to adapt. I've made these using paintbox yarns chunky acrylic too and it works perfectly!

Granny Square Purse Tutorial

This is a super quick and fun make using any granny square pattern you like. It’s a great way of using up any yarns scraps you have and would work well using lots of different types of yarn.

Crochet Medal-free pattern

This was a fun little make I came up with after running my first 10k race. Race is probably not the right word though! I'm no athlete but I finished and its the taking part that counts right? I've been running for a few months now and every time I'd come home from my Saturday morning park run, my son would excitedly ask where my medal was. I decided when I did eventually get my first event medal it would be fun to make him one of his very own...so crochet to the rescue yet again! The children have had lots of fun with these over the school holidays and they're so quick to make you will need: 3x50g paintbox yarns cotton dk in pink, white and blue 1x metallic dk in martini (you can substitute this for any cotton or acrylic dk yarn) 3.5mm hook stitch marker small amount of toy stuffing Medal is made using the amigurumi technique and worked in a spiral.
