The Rainbow Baby Blanket and Mini Octopus Crochet Pattern, designed by Vicky Jane of Gwên Crochet Designs, is now available.

This beautifully colourful baby blanket uses a selection of pastel shades to create a lovely striped rainbow design. The repeated techniques used make for a very relaxing crochet project. The pattern also includes the addition of a cuddly companion, which has a squishy body and twisted tentacles for little ones to grasp, making it the perfect sensory toy. This pattern is easily adaptable should you prefer to create in your own colour scheme using other shades from the Woolcraft Baby Care DK range. Also available as a knitting pattern.
