The idea for the crochet patchwork blankets came from the old-fashioned airtex blankets. Do you remember those? I wanted to make a blanket that was lighter than a fully knitted blanket, something ideal for the summer or inside with central heating. I wanted to make something pretty with a feeling of yesteryear, something really homemade that looks like its been loving made for you by your Granny. So I experimented with crocheting pieces of fabric together and the result is this lovely light blanket. We use a really fine crochet hook to make these so that we can poke it directly through the fabric to make the stitches. The fabric in these blankets is 100% cotton and each batch of patchwork varies so there’s a lovely unique quality to this special blanket.
