As a result of stock shortages at the suppliers in Bellissima and Bamboo+ cotton. Helen as provided some alternative shades in stylecraft special dk which are very similar to the shades shown in the image.

Helen of Crystals & Crochet says:

'I often see people who are new to my designs say that they do not think they will be able to do it, although many beginners have made my designs and learnt a lot along the way. So, for this year’s crochet along I felt I wanted to design something that looks amazing but would be easy for even a beginner, with only basic knowledge, to not only attempt but to excel at.

As I was designing this blanket the words that kept going around in my mind were – faith – confidence – hope – believe. I also feel that last year and this year have taught us all a little bit about having faith that everything always works out in the end. We just need a little patience and to have hope and believe that we can overcome anything. Faith and confidence in ourselves give us the confidence to achieve anything we want to.

Once you understand the basic crochet stitches it is simply a matter of learning how to put them together to form many different special stitches.

To help you there will be photo tutorials and full video tutorials (US terms only). Faith will be published in 8 parts and will be available in UK terms – US terms.

An amazing team of ladies have also translated this year’s crochet along in the following languages – Danish – Dutch – French – German – Italian – Russian –Spanish'
