🍁 Introducing “Autumn Delight” – My New CAL Starts 29th August 2025! 🍂

Hello lovely crocheters! I'm absolutely thrilled to finally share the news… my brand-new Crochet Along (CAL) is coming this Autumn and it’s called “Autumn Delight”. It’s a celebration of swirling leaves, cosy evenings, and the magic of seasonal colour.

This CAL has been brewing in my yarn basket for quite some time, and now I can finally show you what’s been falling into place—leaf by leaf, stitch by stitch!

🧶 About the Blanket

This pattern is a mandala-style round blanket with a twist—plenty of beautiful, swirling leaves crocheted in all directions, radiating outwards like a wreath of woodland wonder. It’s designed to be both mindfully meditative and delightfully decorative.

Crocheted in mosaic and worked in the round, there are only a couple of ends to weave in and no colour changes mid-round to create the stunning design.

Whether you’re curled up by the fire or enjoying the last golden rays of summer, Autumn Delight brings a touch of seasonal charm to every stitch.

🎨 Colourways

Yarn packs are now available from WoolWarehouse! You can choose from two beautiful colourways to bring your blanket to life. The first is Cosy Pinks, featuring Yarnsmiths DK yarn: 3 cakes of Yarnsmiths Elvis DK in Molly and 4 balls of Yarnsmiths Create DK in White. The second is Autumnal Oranges, using Cygnet DK yarn: 3 cakes of Cygnet Marshmallow Pies in Red Hot Rio and 4 balls of Cygnet DK in White. Both packs are intended to complement the Autumn Delight design and suit a range of tastes.

Do you prefer soft romantic pinks or bold seasonal oranges?

Head over to WoolWarehouse and search for "Autumn Delight" or click the buttons below to grab your yarn pack and get ready to crochet along with me.

• Cosy Pinks – A softer, whimsical palette like faded petals and warming blush.

• Autumnal Oranges – Think golden leaves, pumpkin spice, and crisp woodland walks.

Both colourways bring out the detail in the leafwork and mandala shaping in their own delightful ways. But of course you can pick your own combinations and themes that remind you of the heart of Autumn.
