This stunning crochet blanket design by Jane Crowfoot is based on traditional Persian ceramic patterns. The project's construction is relatively simple, consisting of just four different motifs - the main octagon piece surrounded by variations on granny squares and triangles. The stitches used are chain, slip stitch, double crochet, treble crochet and double treble crochet (UK terminology). You have the option to crochet the piece using West Yorkshire Spinners (WYS) ColourLab DK or the Pepperpot version, which uses a variety of beautiful WYS yarns. The completed blanket measures approximately 115cm (45in) square. Click here for the yarn kit, which includes a printed pattern.
