We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to crochet this splendid blanket, a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy crocheting!
We do not stock the pattern ourselves as it is featured in the magazine Inside Crochet, Issue 174.
Crochet by Numbers is a squishy blanket that will keep you cosy even in the depths of winter, and as the temperature is starting to drop, we can’t wait to get out our hooks and make a start on this stunner!
Made up in our Knit by Numbers DK, it’s luscious blend of Falklands Merino and Bluefaced Leicester is the perfect mix of softness, with definition and warmth. It surely does show off Fay’s stitch pattern to the nines!
Puff stitches are used with subtle shade changes to create a perfect crocheted flower within each hexagon. Although puff stitches use a lot of yarn, it’s worth it for the resulting texture and warmth they bring to the finished blanket design.
