Original blog post August 2020: It’s been exactly a year since I designed my ‘Late Summer Sunsets’ blanket for The Knitting Network which was available as a yarn pack complete with the pattern… you can read more about it here
And now, in collaboration with The Knitting Network, I’ve crocheted it all over again in all new carefully selected sunset colours using Stylecraft Special DK! And I’m super happy to announce that the new yarn packs complete with the revised pattern are now on sale!

I know that lots of people have tried to purchase the old kits but they’ve been sold out for a while so I’m really pleased to be able to bring you these new colours which I’m so very happy with… 🙂
I’ve absolutely loved crocheting this blanket again and it was my perfect holiday project during a recent visit to beautiful Cornwall…
It was such enjoyable and mindful crochet, with the simple stitches used and the colour changes keeping me on my toes… the perfect project for crochet on the go! 🙂
The new colours I’ve chosen are such rich, warm sunset colours and it’s been an absolute pleasure to crochet this blanket again. I crocheted it in 2 weeks… a whole blanket crocheted in 2 weeks is quite an achievement!
For those of you who are on Instagram, I’m taking part in a virtual yarn festival this Saturday 29th August. It involves me going live on the Yorkshire Yarn Fest Instagram page for 15 minutes. I’ll be releasing another brand new design which I’m super excited about plus talking about all things Coastal Crochet. I’ll have this blanket to show you all too if you want to see it. My time is 2.10pm – 2.25pm UK time… 🙂 ❤️
The pattern for my Late Summer Sunsets blanket will only be available with the kit… it’s a blanket I have designed and made exclusively for The Knitting Network so the pattern won’t be available directly from me.
For now I’ll leave you with some more sunset photos… it isn’t until very late summer that the sun will set over the sea once more for us here on the south east coast of England. Something nice to look forward to as the darker days approach… 🙂
We’ve had really good summer weather this year and my family and I have made the most of living so close to the sea… plenty of sea swims, especially during the recent heat wave. I’m not sure I’m ready for autumn yet… but the sunsets will certainly help!
Happy Crocheting Everyone… 🙂 🙂 ❤️
