Alma — The Spiky Granny Blanket

Make something fun, squishy and totally cosy with the Alma Spiky Granny Blanket.

This playful twist on the classic granny stitch uses the spiked granny stitch to create a textured, snuggly fabric that’s relaxing to crochet and wonderfully mindful to make.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Fun, easy and relaxing — perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
  • Mindful, repetitive stitches that make it ideal for de-stressing.
  • Super squishy and cosy — a lovely throw for sofas, beds or gifting.
  • Great for stash-busting: use 4 or more colours to create a bright, personalised blanket.
