A Year of Crochet Blankets Book – 12 Blanket Patterns

Create a crochet blanket for every season with A Year of Crochet Blankets by Naomi Harreman and Jolanda Verschiere, founders of crochet company Haakplein. This crochet pattern book features 12 beautiful designs, from thick, cosy covers for winter afternoons to lightweight throws for balmy summer evenings.

12 blanket patterns to make your own

Slow down and enjoy making something practical, personal and lovely to give, stitch by stitch. Explore lace-like designs and filet crochet, portable projects worked in blocks and strips, and sampler-style blankets combining different stitch patterns. Blankets let you enjoy your favourite yarns without the stress of complex garment sizing.

Every pattern includes specific instructions for widening or lengthening your blanket, so you can adapt it to your needs. Follow the authors’ favourite colour palettes or choose your own and use each design as a canvas for your creativity.
