Featuring tactile 3D puff stitches you’ll want to run your hands over, this cushion is designed to bring depth and warmth to your home. Its classic yet contemporary style makes it easy to tailor to your décor, whether you prefer a solid palette (like I’ve chosen) or a playful mix of colours for something truly unique. I think it would make the perfect addition to any bedroom, dorm room, or comfy couch.

I originally used Anchor Creativa Fino (4ply, 125M per 50g ball) for this project, which comes in a fabulous range of shades for beautifully coloured homeware. It’s 100% twisted cotton that gives it a lovely stitch definition, however, if you were looking for a suitable yarn alternative you could try Scheepjes Catona (4ply, 125M per 50g bal), King Cole Giza Cotton (4ply, 158m/178yds per 50g ball) or Utopia Crafts 365 Days Mercerised Combed Cotton (4ply, 260m per 100g ball).

You will need 400g (approx 1000m / 712 yds) in total to make the cushion with a 3.25mm hook (US size D/3). I used a cushion inner from Amazon for my centre and a 30cm (11.8 inch) zip similar to this one – the final pillow measures 35 x 50cm (14 x 20 inches) making it a perfect accent pillow size.

ATTACHING THE ZIP:

Turn your work so that the right sides of the panels are facing each other and pin your zip into place in the middle of each panel at the top of each edge; teeth should be a small bit above your last row of dc; this will help to make sure your crochet does not get caught in the zipper when in use.
Sew the zip into place securely using your needle and thread using the back loop of your dc only – I found that a blanket stitch worked best.
Sew up the remaining ends of the cushion so that there are no gaps around the zipper.
Turn your pillow right side out, add your cushion inner inside; plump it up, add to your favourite chair and enjoy!

Free Crochet Pattern | Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap

Posted in Crochet, Crochet Accessories, Designing, Free Patterns, Pattern Release, Stitches, Tah-Dah by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Hey there crochet friends! I’ve got a new free pattern for you today – and it’s one that beautifully balances cosy comfort with classic style. Allow me to introduce the Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap, a crochet design that embraces the perfect blend of function and understated elegance.

Pin for Later:

A model displaying a knitted wrap with a houndstooth pattern in soft beige and turquoise. The caption reads 'Free Crochet Pattern: Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap' with a website link for the pattern.

The Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap was originally featured in the December 2024 issue of I Like Crochet magazine and features a timeless houndstooth stitch pattern. It’s size makes it a versatile addition to any winter wardrobe; it’s the kind of wrap you’ll reach for again and again, pairing just as well with casual layers as it does with more dressed-up looks.

This pattern is wonderfully easy to follow, making it perfect for confident beginners and anyone looking for a relaxing, enjoyable project. The stitch repeat is simple yet memorable, quickly becoming second nature as you work, so you can crochet without constantly referring back to the pattern. Despite its straightforward construction, the repeating stitch creates a beautifully textured houndstooth effect, giving the wrap a polished, impressive finish that looks far more complex than it actually is.

I created my wrap in Scheepjes Colour Crafter DK in 1005 Barneveld CC1 (3 balls), 1710 Ermelo CC2 (3 balls) and with the pop of 1680 Ameland CC3 (1 balls). Scheepjes Colour Crafter DK (light worsted) premium 100% Acrylic yarn (300 meters / 100 grams) which comes in a range of different colours. I really like this yarn, and have used it many times before, as it’s hypoallergenic and features a special anti-pilling quality, ensuring your handmade items stay smooth and look new, wash after wash.

Recommended crochet hook size for the DK is a 4mm hook (US G/6) hook, which is what I used, then the only other thing you will need for your wrap project is a tapestry needle and possibly some some stitch markers to help mark the start and finish of each row.

CHANGING COLOURS

When changing to a different colour, pull the new colour through the last loops of the previous st to complete that st.
When changing to and from a colour carry the unused coloured yarn along the wrong side of the work loosely so that the work does not gather. Crochet over the unused colour as they are carried along; this will hide the strands of yarn invisibly and eliminate long unused strands.
Change colour every alternate row carrying your yarn along the sides of your work.

PATTERN

The ch1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a st.
The ch3 at the beginning of a row or round counts as the first dc.

Row 1: (RS) With YARN A; ch 81, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 dc in next ch, [1 sc in next st, 1 dc in next st] repeat across until end, turn. (80 sts)

Edging :

Row 1: With YARN C, loosely sl st along the edge of the right side of rows 1 – 255; then working into the sl sts, ch 1, * 1 sc in the next st, 1 dc in the next st; rep from * across until end, turn.

Rows 3 – 4: Repeat rows 1 – 2 on the other edge of rows 1 – 255. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Blocking:

The design of this shawl may benefit from being wet blocked.

Leave to dry completely over 24 hours, and then unpin.
Completely soak your item in cold water then gently squeeze (without wringing it) out some of the excess water.
Using your tape measure and pins carefully pin your item on your blocking board
Double check your measurements if necessary (e.g. check the height and width are correct).

Get ready to Glow with the Oriana Wrap in Crochet Now Issue 121

Posted in Crochet, Magazine by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

If you’re a fan of filet crochet accessories (like me), then you’re in for a treat with the latest issue of Crochet Now magazine. Issue 121 introduces my new design, the Oriana Glow Wrap, a pattern that promises to add a touch of colour to your wardrobe.

Pin for later:

The Oriana Glow Wrap is a accessory that combines filet crochet stitch patterns with a graceful drape. Designed to capture the essence of the shimmering light of golden hour, this wrap is perfect for both daytime outings and evening events.

This pattern is available exclusively in Crochet Now Magazine, Issue 121, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out, I do so love both a filet project and a one ball project and this is both of those things!

A vibrant orange and peach Oriana Glow Wrap displayed on a mannequin against a backdrop of green ivy. The wrap features a filet crochet design and is secured with a decorative pin.

☀️ SAVE ORIANA GLOW WRAP ON RAVELRY ☀️

I created the Oriana Glow Wrap from a Scheepjes Whirl made from a beautifully soft cotton-acrylic blend (60% Cotton and 40% Acrylic). The delicious gradient yarn comes in lots of scrumptious colour ways and has a generous twist which is fab to crochet with – it’s definitely a favourite yarn of mine and I always like to keep a whirl project on the go!

I used shade 554 Tangerine Tambourine with a 3.25mm hook (US size D/3). Then the only other things that you might find useful are some stitch markers to help track your filet crochet as you work (optional but useful!)

This design was inspired by my love for filet crochet and the joy of creating something beautiful with simplicity. It’s a one-ball project, making it wonderfully portable—perfect for crocheting on the go, whether you’re travelling, waiting at appointments, or relaxing at the park. The pattern is soothing to work on and ideal for anyone looking to unwind with their hook. And if you’re new to filet crochet or need a quick refresher, my blog post ‘Top Tips for Filet Crochet’ is a great place to start.

Where to Find the Pattern

Crochet Now issue 121 is available in shops now or you can grab a digital version from Craftworld.com. This issue has 40 inspiring patterns inside including a lovely colourful jumper and several other fun nautical amigurumi projects.

I Like Crochet Magazine | Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap

Posted in Crochet, Crochet Accessories, Inspiration, Magazine, Pattern Release, Tah-Dah, Yarn by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

As we cosy up for the winter season, I’m thrilled to share my latest project: the Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap, a beautiful addition to any winter wardrobe that’s as stylish as it is comfortable. Featured in the December edition of I Like Crochet magazine, this wrap brings together a classic houndstooth stitch pattern with a modern frosty colour scheme that’s perfect for colder months.

Houndstooth is one of those timeless patterns that I think always adds a touch of sophistication, and this wrap is no exception. The Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap combines contrasting tones to create that bold, traditional checkered effect while still feeling soft and subtle. With a gorgeous drape and enough length to wrap yourself up comfortably, it’s ideal for layering over your favourite winter outfits, whether you’re heading out for a brisk winter walk or curling up with a book by the fire.

I used Scheepjes Colour Crafter for this wrap; it’s a yarn I’ve used for many projects and it never disappoints! This DK (light worsted) yarn is a premium 100% acrylic (328 yarns [300mters] / 100g) that’s wonderfully soft with a smooth, even texture. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic, making it perfect for clothing and wraps that need to be both snug and gentle on the skin.

Three balls of yarn in soft hues sit on a table top surrounded by crochet notions, a small potted plant, and a steaming cup of tea, creating a cosy crafting scene.

One of my favourite things about this pattern is the soothing rhythm of crocheting the houndstooth design, it’s repetitive enough to be a relaxing experience — perfect for an evening by the fire with a cup of tea. The houndstooth pattern is created through simple colour changes, so if you’ve been wanting to dip your toes into colorwork, this is a fabulous project to try – a great pattern for beginners.

The wrap pairs well with neutral outfits and works wonders with winter whites and forest greens, embracing the essence of a snowy woodland. For those who love a bit of a twist on classic style, the houndstooth design here is a fantastic way to make a statement without overwhelming your look.

The Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap is styled as a long, cozy scarf around a mannequin, set against a lush background of ivy. The classic houndstooth pattern contrasts beautifully with the greenery, enhancing the wrap’s warm texture and elegant drape.

If you’re already subscribed to I Like Crochet, you can find the Frosted Forest Houndstooth Wrap in their current issue. It’s a project that will not only elevate your crochet skills but will also add a stunning piece to your winter collection. And for those new to houndstooth, this wrap is a perfect introduction to this classic pattern.

If you haven’t heard of I Like Crochet magazine before it’s a US bi-monthly digital magazine which is published by the creators of AllFreeCrochet.com. With it being a US publication patterns are written using US crochet terminology – if you are not sure how that differs you may find my post British vs. American Crochet Terms: What’s the difference? of use.

Moorit Magazine | Equilibrium Wrap

Posted in Crochet, Magazine, Pattern Release, Tah-Dah, Yarn by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Welcome to the enchanting world of crochet where balance and beauty converge in the exquisite latest issue of Moorit magazine pattern! Working within this issues theme of ‘balance’ I came up with the Equilibrium wrap; a unique exploration of negative and positive space.

The Equilibrium crocheted wrap shown in a beautiful spring green colour, held behind the back of a model wearing a similar colour jumpsuit. — © Moorit Magazine 2024 – Issue 6 / Amelia Claudia Photography)

About Moorit

I am delighted to feature in Moorit magazine for the first time! If you haven’t heard of Moorit before it’s an independent crochet magazine based in Scotland and run by Alyson Chu. Launched in 2021, Moorit is a high-end craft magazine with true indie spirit. It focuses on wearable, modern garments and accessories, made in natural fibres, and is akin to a stunning coffee table book with its beautiful photos and captivating content.

My design

At the heart of the Equilibrium pattern lies a delicate dance between stitches and space. I wanted the wrap to showcase a state of balance, between opposing sections of filet crochet, in an interesting and appealing design. It’s a little lacy without being too complicated but with enough coverage to ward of a cool breeze. Made in a single colour this elegant and classic easy-to-wear wrap is sure to become a wardrobe staple.

If you’ve been around for awhile you’ll know that I love a bit of filet crochet and I think the play of solid and open spaces, adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the Equilibrium pattern. The contrast between solid and open mesh creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the overall elegance of the design. Each stitch is carefully placed to create a harmonious balance between negative space, where stitches recede, and positive space, where stitches stand out – that’s the beauty of filet crochet!

❤️ SAVE THE EQUILIBRIUM WRAP ON RAVELRY ❤️

The Yarn

I used Wool Decanted DK which is 100% British Wool (Polwarth / Romney & Black Shetland sheep) that comes in 50g balls (112m / 122yd per). The sample I made mine in was in colourway ‘River Thyme 001’, though it would be easy to personalise using your favourite colour.

Flatlay image of several skeins of Wool Decanted green vintage 23 DK yarn on a white wooden desk background.

The only other things you will need for this wrap are some stitch markers , a tapestry needle and a 5mm hook (US size H/8).

Final note

I hope that as you work through the Equilibrium pattern, you’ll find yourself immersed in the filet crochet technique. With each new row, you’ll witness the intricate design come to life, revealing the delicate balance between solid and open spaces.

While Equilibrium may present a challenge, as it does need a bit of concentration, I would say that the pattern is suitable for an an advanced beginner wanting to expand their crochet skills. Whether you choose to wear it as a wrap, shawl, or scarf, the finished project will effortlessly add a touch of elegance to any outfit.

As well as my wrap this issue includes some stunning designs including six garments and six accessories. So, gather your hooks and your favourite yarn, and prepare to embark on a journey of exploration and expression with the Equilibrium crochet pattern. With patience, practice, and a keen eye for detail, you’ll discover the magic of ‘balance’ in your own unique crocheted wrap.

Where to get the magazine

Free Crochet Pattern | Specked Rainbow Wrap

Posted in Crochet, Free Patterns by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Hi folks, I’ve got a brand new FREE pattern to share with you today, I don’t know about you but I am a rainbow fanatic! When I see a rainbow all the colours make me so happy so I thought I’d share with you the perfect accessory to inject a little bit of colour into the dark days of winter.

Pin this project for later:

Pinterest collage of the Speckled Rainbow Wrap crochet pattern

So there’s a little story behind the creation of this wrap. Back in 2022 I was a guest at the Crochet Sanctuary where, much to our surprise, we were all gifted a whole bit pack of Scheepjes Stone Washed / River Washed Colour Pack minis!

I love these mini’s but I realised I’d actually got two packs (as my brother had got me one for Christmas a previous year), so I decided I wanted to make ‘something’ with all of the colours of this pack. It just so happened that I was sitting next to my lovely friend Claire (of Claire’s Made it) and she had the same idea. So as well as our fab Crochet Sanctuary projects we started working on our own pattern designs, using all of the wonderful shades, that weekend.

Overhead view of a box filled with a rainbow selection of Scheepjes Riverwashed and Stonewashed mini skeins of yarn.

I’d made pretty good headway but then inevitably when I got home I had to work on other things so my poor work in progress just languished for awhile in a corner. Claire on the other hand finished her beautiful scarf and it looked gorgeous!

Our designs are alike, in that they are a similar shape, include eyelets, and of course we use all the colours – but we use contrasting stitches and have a different row repeat so there is enough of a change if you were looking for an additional pattern to hook up some minis. You can find all the details on how Claire made her pretty Colourful Striped Scarf for free on her blog so be sure to check that out too.

Anyway, fast forward to the end of last year and I found myself with a bit of time to finish my project. A note about my version before you begin, I did leave roughly 10% of the minis’ to make my scarf as I didn’t want to run out of any colours, and I also had another idea about using up scrap bits of yarn (more on that another time). So if you are using the same yarn, and you want to use all, you may wish to increase the starting chain of your scarf in multiples of 5 or perhaps.

So without further ado allow me to introduce the Speckled Rainbow Wrap, a lovely easy pattern that’s perfect for beginners or more experienced crocheters looking for a mindful make.

Of course you don’t have to use the same yarn I used, in fact this pattern could make an awesome stashbuster for scraps – just keep on working the design until you run out of yarn!

Scroll down for the free version of this pattern but I’d recommend the purchase of the ad-free PDF Pattern (in either UK or US terms) if you’d like all the instructions and pictures in a nice document which you can print and take notes on without relying on your phone or an internet connection.

Speckled Rainbow Wrap

The pattern below is written just in UK terms but you can view a handy conversion chart here on the blog.

Skill Level: 2 – Easy

Yarn: Sport / Baby yarn weight #2 (Fine), approx 580g / 1,508m required in total.

1 pack of 58 colours of Scheepjes Stone Washed colours and River Washed yarn in 10g balls (78% cotton and 22% acrylic).

Pattern will work in other hooks and yarns though finished size will be different.

Hook: · 3.5mm (US size E/4).

You will also need:

Gauge: 5 sts = 2.5cm / 1 inch; 5 rows = 5cm / 1.9 inches

Obtaining the correct gauge is critical to this project for two reasons; if you do not match gauge then either your item will be bigger or smaller than the specified finished size, and as cables are a bit of a yarn eater then you may run out of yarn. Try going up or down a hook size to meet gauge and/or if you know you crochet loosely maybe make sure you have extra yarn before you start.

Finished size: 174cm long x 48cm wide / 68 inches long x 19 inches wide

PATTERN

The ch3 at the start of a row counts as the first st
You may find it useful to add a stitch marker to the first / last st of a row.
Change colours every three rows; fasten off last st and weave in ends. Attach new colour to the top of the last st worked with a sl st to join. See optional colour order on page 4.

Row 1 (RS): Ch83, 1tr in the 4th ch from hook (counts as first Vst), 1tr in the next 2sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 6sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 3sts, tr2tog in the remaining sts, turn. 79sts

Work into the ch’s as if it were a st after row 1; this will result in staggered ch-sp eyelet ‘speckles’.

Row 2: Beg.Tr2tog, 1tr in the next 3sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 3sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 2sts, Vst in the last st, turn.

Row 3: Beg.VSt, 1tr in the next 2sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 6sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 3sts, tr2tog in the remaining sts, turn

Row 4: Beg.Tr2tog, 1tr in each st across until the last st, Vst in the last st, turn.

Row 5: Beg.VSt, 1tr in the next 2sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 6sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 3sts, tr2tog in the remaining sts, turn

Row 6: Beg.Tr2tog, 1tr in each st across until the last st, Vst in the last st, turn.

Row 7: Beg.VSt, 1tr in the next 2sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 6sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 3sts, tr2tog in the remaining sts, turn

Row 8: Beg.Tr2tog, 1tr in the next 3sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 3sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 2sts, Vst in the last st, turn.

Row 9: Beg.VSt, 1tr in the next 2sts, [ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 4sts] repeat across until the last 6sts, ch1, miss st, 1tr in the next 3sts, tr2tog in the remaining sts, turn

The six row repeat of rows 4—9 make up the pattern for the scarf:

Rows 10 – 171: repeat row 4– 9 twenty seven times more. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

BLOCKING

The design of this scarf may benefit from being wet blocked;

Completely soak your item in cold water then gently squeeze (without wringing it) out some of the excess water.
Using your tape measure and pins carefully pin your item on your blocking board
Double check your measurements if necessary (e.g check the height and width are correct)
Leave to dry completely over 24 hours, and then unpin.

Crochet Now Magazine | Triple Ripple Wrap

Posted in Crochet, Magazine, Pattern Release, Tah-Dah, Yarn by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

It’s time to share my first pattern of 2024! Allow me to introduce the Triple Ripple Wrap which is available in the latest of Crochet Now magazine (out now).

Crochet Triple Ripple Wrap by Heather C Gibbs, available now in Crochet Now magazine — © Practical Publishing 2024 (Crochet Now Issue 103)

Do you love a one-ball project? Me too, I love how versatile they are – I’m a person that has different categories of crochet; I tend to do more involved designing when I’m at home, and I have everything I need around me, but then I love to have a project that I can take out and about with me on the go.

Table top view of the crochet work in progress of the Triple Ripple Wrap

That’s were one-ball projects come in really handy, and this particular project came with me to play-parks, on the train and on long car journeys (where I was the passenger – I’m not an advocate of crocheting while driving!)

I created the Triple Ripple Wrap from a Scheepjes Whirl made from a beautifully soft cotton-acrylic blend (60% Cotton and 40% Acrylic). The delicious gradient yarn comes in lots of scrumptious colour ways and has a generous twist which is fab to crochet with.

The yarn comes in a 220g (1000m) cake and I used Jade JimJam (560). This particular colourway has the signature Scheepjes Whirl long colour changes which make the ‘jade’ teal tones blend together in a beautiful ombre from lighter to darker.

Scheepjes Whirl’s are a favourite of mine to create wraps as they are simultaneously lightweight, breathable and have a beautiful drape. The only other thing you will need for a 3.5mm (US size E/4) and a project bag to keep it in so you can grab and go!

I would definitely describe this pattern as a lovely mindful, relaxing pattern that is easy and beginner friendly. I think it has the perfect blend of stitches and texture to make it look fabulous and elegant, and it would look great styled over a jumper or dress.

The Dragonfly River Make-Along is Here!

Posted in Crochet by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Happy MAL day folks!

It’s the 31 July which means it’s the official start of the Dragonfly River Make Along in collaboration with the lovely Kitey (aka the Yarn Whisperer). We are super excited to share this summer’s project with you!

All the folks that ordered the exclusive Dragonfly River MAL kit should have already received the gorgeous Yarn Whisperer yarn (plus fab extras), and the pattern went out to everyone a few days ago (from Kitey – so maybe check your junk mail if the pattern doesn’t seem to have appeared). So we should be all ready to begin!

The exclusive colourway that Kitey has come up with this summer was inspired by sparkling rivers and the iridescent beauty of dragonflies. It contains fabulously rich greens and teals combined with beautiful tonal soft blue shades – plus that little bit of stelina sparkle (I LOVE IT). This has been married up with a hank of natural slub yarn because that’s beautiful in it’s own right – especially along side the hand dyed version as the colours really pop! And the slub yarn has the most fantastic texture – it’s my new yarn crush!

And in amongst the kit there is THE MOST FABULOUS stitch marker from Mrs G! It’s the cutest teeny tiny (river) stones alongside a beautiful silver dragonfly! I know I say it every time, but these are my new favourites – and they are just the perfect compliment to the yarn and the design for our cowl.

For the full information about this particular MAL you can find all the details here (or find via the top menu of this blog under the tab ‘CALS AND MALS’). But generally the idea is that the MAL is a relaxed event designed to be a lovely summer project – this time round we are making a cowl.

The Make Along will run from today (Sunday 31 July 2022) until Thursday 15 September 2022 giving everyone plenty of time, during busy summer holiday season, for you to make the pattern. You can of course start the pattern at anytime you wish, this deadline is just there for those that like to have one.

There will be support for the pattern as usual in my Facebook group; the KCACO-UK Crochet Community Group and in Kitey’s Virtual Stitch-n-B*tch zoom sessions – see full details on Kitey’s Insta page

SHARING WITH THE #DRAGONFLYRIVERMAL MAKEALONG COMMUNITY

We hope you’ll share your photos with us on social media (facebook, twitter or instagram) or as a project on Ravelry – we’d love to see what you make! We will be sharing our progress with the hashtags #dragonflyrivermal #kcacouk #yarnwhisperer. If you’re blogging, feel free to leave links to your post(s) in the comments here.

You also may wish to make sure you are signed up to blog (below) and / or my mailing list to get a reminder when new blog posts, discounts or new pattern releases are available – I’ll just say that Kitey and I have already planned projects for well into 2023!

We do hope that you enjoy this fun make-along; Kitey and I can’t wait to see your wonderful new cowls come to life!

Until next time folks! Happy hooking, keep calm and crochet on my friends xx

Happily Hooked Magazine | Pastel Pop Shawl

Posted in Crochet, Inspiration, Magazine, Pattern Release, Tah-Dah, Yarn by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Ahhh May! It’s a month of UK bank holidays and getting that summer feeling as the weather (hopefully) gets sunnier! I don’t know about you but the months seem to be zooming by, and I’ve not even had chance to tell you yet about my new design called the ‘Pastel Pop Shawl’ which is available in Issue 98 of Happily Hooked Magazine.

Pastels are the perfect hues to compliment summer neutrals, and are classic enough to wear year after year, now you can claim your pastel powers with the Pastel Pop wrap. Both in-style and with beautiful drape, the bright and summery pastel shades are combined with interesting texture to create a beautiful modern wrap.

The Pastel Pop wrap is a fun one to make, it’s a large rectangular wrap featuring interspersed panels of popcorn stitch, so it’s got some lovely texture, and then I’ve combined it with some crossed stitches, and with the colour changing in too it makes for a rhythmic pattern with enough to keep you interested.

Now I wouldn’t call myself much of a pastel kind of person, I do so love a bright rainbow, that said, every now and then, I do get a bit of a hankering for some softer tones. I’d recently used some King Cole Cotton Soft DK in a project and as I was impressed with how soft and flexible it was for cotton. They have a nice range of pastels colours and it made me wonder how it would work if it was used for a wrap.

If you’re not familiar with King Cole Cotton Soft it’s a 100% cotton DK (8ply / Light Worsted) yarn that comes in 100g balls (210m / 229yds). It’s available in 21 different colours which include a lot of pastels, with a few bright shades, and it’s often used for baby makes and summer clothes. The recommended hook size for the yarn is a 4mm and that’s what I used for my wrap.

The finished wrap is heavier than a acrylic shawl might be, but there is that wonderful drape and the stitch definition is just marvellous (it always seems to be with cotton!).

Pastels are certainly optimistic colours I think, these bring pastels are sure to lift your mood all year round! But I do also wonder how this wrap might look in other colour combinations; think dark greys or black with neon’s, or a neutral maybe with hand dyed popcorn sections – oooo, the possibilities!

💗 SAVE PASTEL POP WRAP ON RAVELRY 💗

The pattern is available now! Happily Hooked & Pattern Pack Pro Are TWO monthly US digital magazine assembled by makers for makers and you can find out more details about it on the Happily Hooked Magazine website.

With it being a US publication patterns are written using US crochet terminology – if you are not sure how that differs you may find my post British vs. American Crochet Terms: What’s the difference? of use.

I hope you’ll share your WIP or finished project photos with me on social media (facebook, twitter or instagram) or as a project on Ravelry – I love to see what you make! And finally you may wish to make sure you are signed up to blog (below) and / or my mailing list to get a reminder when new blog posts, discounts or new pattern releases are available.

Until next time folks! Happy hooking and keep calm and crochet on my friends xx

Dragonfly River MAL Announcement

Posted in Crochet by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Banner image featuring the details for the Dragonfly River summer crochet makealong, running from 31 July until 15 September 2022.

I’m super excited to be joining forces again this winter with talented yarn dyer Kitey, aka The Yarn Whisperer, to bring you a brand new seasonal make-along.

Imagine, you are on a day out; it’s a fine sunny day and you have taken a delicious picnic, and of course a brand new crochet project, to enjoy in the relative peace and quiet of the countryside.

It’s nice and warm and you are feeling lovely and relaxed! The river is flowing gracefully by your side, there’s a hint of a refreshing breeze, birds are singing in the trees and there are blue skies and fluffy clouds above you. It’s then that you hear the zip of a dragonfly flying past, and your eyes follow the iridescent glimmer of its body, as it goes on a hunt on the sparkling rippling river.

Join us on its journey as we take part in the Dragonfly River Make Along!

If you are not sure what a MAL is, you can read more on the MAL landing page here, but Kitey and I have actually had this planned since last years Christmas collab (and we may have already planned more projects into 2024 – we do get a bit over excited when we start talking!)

This time around we are going to be making a cowl, which I’m not going to show you yet, and I’m not going to giveaway too much about the project, but what I will say is that I really, really love everything about it and can’t wait to share it with you!

An exclusive pattern and kit have been created for this extra special MAL. Kitey has worked his magic, as usual, to put together an amazingly special colourway and each kit will include:

1x 100g / 400m skein of Sparkle Sock yarn, in an exclusive hand-dyed colourway
1x 100g / 400m skein of natural 4ply Slub Yarn yarn
A digital copy of the exclusive MAL pattern
a few extra treats, including some EXCLUSIVE @mrsgmakes stitch markers, just for good measure!

Pin this project for later:

Pre-ordered kits will be available for £44 + postage, and can be ordered on The Yarn Whisperer website from 10 am on 9th May.

AND if you order your kit in the first 24 hours you can enjoy a 10% Early Bird discount.

Kits will be dyed to order over the coming weeks, with generally a 1 week turn-around from order to shipping. But get in quick to ensure you get yours in plenty of time to crochet along with us!

Last International orders will be shipped by 25^th June if ordered by the end of May. UK orders will continue to be shipped after this date but ordering early ensures your kit arrives in plenty of time to join us on 31st July.

The Make Along will run from 31^st July to 15^th September for a nice relaxed project with plenty of time for you to make the pattern. You can of course start the pattern at anytime you wish, this deadline is just there for those that like to have one.

I’ve put together all the details for this particular MAL on a landing page which you can find here, or find via the top menu of this blog under the tab ‘CALS AND MALS’.

There will be support for the pattern as usual in my Facebook group; the KCACO-UK Crochet Community Group. And you can also pop in and join in with the Virtual Stitch-n-B*tch sessions hosted by Kitey – Tuesday’s from 1-3 pm, Friday’s from 5.20pm (see full details on Kitey’s Insta page). These sessions are a bit like going to a virtual knit and natter group, and everyone there is really lovely and helpful.

If you want to share your yarn arrivals and WIP shots on socials we will be using hashtags #DragonflyRiverMAL #kcacouk and #yarnwhisperer. We hope you will tag us as we absolutely seeing your photos.

We do hope that you will join both Kitey and I for this fun make-along – we can’t wait to see your wonderful new projects come to life!

Until next time folks! Happy hooking, keep calm and crochet on my friends xx
