This is the ‘Postcards with Love Blanket’ crochet-along (CAL) designed by Eleonora Tully for King Cole - a blanket inspired by the sending of postcards.

This blanket is made using a combination of different squares and rectangles. The pattern starts with a large central square. Four smaller squares and four rectangles are then crocheted, joined together and attached to the central square. These are crocheted around before further squares and rectangles are crocheted and joined. A border is crocheted around the entire blanket.

The finished blanket measures approximately 122cm x 122cm (48in x 48in) using King Cole Cottonsoft DK and 127cm x 127cm (50in x 50in) using King Cole Big Value DK.

Send a postcard to friends and family when you’re away on travels or maybe just send an impromptu postcard from home to loved ones far away! A little bit of joy popping through a letterbox… postcards sent with love but this time we’ll be crocheting them!
