Those of us who love crochet tend to be a cheerful bunch and I think we all relish the exuberance of a colourful project. This is why this quirky retro vibe blanket hits the mark. You can download the pattern for free on readicut.co.uk and buy all the yarn there too. It is made with the world famous Red Heart® Super Saver®. This blanket is so versatile it can be used as a throw, to give a happy summertime feel to your home, but is equally practical as a picnic blanket or a snuggle blanket for a blustery BBQ when the British weather doesn’t play ball!!

Red Heart® Super Saver® has been a favourite among knitters and crocheters for over 30 years. This durable 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn holds the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification and will stand the test of time, wash after wash. No dye-lot solids mean all skeins of a solid colour match, so it’s easy to buy another skein and continue the project.

Readicut is great for all avid crocheters. There is not only a wonderful array of yarns from well-known brands: Caron®, Bernat®, Lily® Sugar’n Cream®, there’s a sizeable range of free downloadable patterns which is something we can all peruse to find the perfect project! Click here to explore.
