Last year I was commissioned to be a guest designer in Tracey Todhunter’s crochet book. I was asked to rustle up a flower blanket pattern using gorgeous DMC Woolly. The design had to include a join-as-you-go method so after lots of uhm-ing and ah-ing I came up with this…
Flower Blanket
I’m so pleased with how the blanket turned out!
The pattern is in Tracey’s book new crochet book. And I must say, its a fabulous book!

There are lots of how-to photographs for all of the techniques, oodles of inspiration and its a must-have for your bookshelf!

The flower blanket stayed with the publishers for a while and when it returned I draped it artfully over the guest room bed. Hubble the cat found out instantly and claimed it as his. It’s a tricky business removing him what with his claws and all!
