It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve sent a newsletter that wasn’t hop information! I hope you found patterns you liked on both the March Madness and International Crochet Month hops? If you downloaded my Lilienne Poncho or Ruana, I’d love to see your finished makes 😊
Today I’ve released my Blossom Cottage Granny Square Blanket for free on the blog and I’m so excited to share it with you.
This blanket has been such a joy to design (it’s my favourite!). I’ve combined floral granny squares, circle-in-a-square motifs, classic granny squares and a bobble stitch border to create a cosy blanket with a soft cottage garden feel. The mix of textures keeps the crochet interesting, while the colour palette gives it a beautiful vintage-inspired finish.
If you’re in the mood for a relaxing motif project, this one is perfect for slow stitching with a cup of tea or coffee nearby.
To celebrate, I’m running a promotion via Ravelry (free PDF).
The promotion for my Blossom Cottage blanket is running from today for the first 100 downloads. Once the 100 patterns have been claimed, the code will no longer work.
You’ll need to visit the pattern on my blog (link below) and once on the pattern, click on the image that says ‘Free Ravelry Download Click here to Redeem the Code.’ You’ll be taken to ‘Redeem a Coupon Code’ on Ravelry. Click ‘use this coupon’ to be taken to the shopping basket on Ravelry. Click ‘check out now’ and the pattern will be in your library. Don’t check out unless it is showing zero!

Clover Update: He’s still excited about his daily walks and wants to play with every dog … but he’s a bit wary of water (although very curious). We’ve been giving him opportunities at the beach, harbour and river. Finally at the weekend he got into a stream of his own accord at Delph Woods 😊
His latest fascination out and about is daisies and dandelions – he eats them, even when he’s running by - they must taste awful! And daisies are toxic (they’re everywhere at the moment) but so far, no upset tums. Apparently, dandelions are ok, they contain Vitamins A, C and K 🤷🏻
We still have the ‘witching hour’ but it doesn’t last as long now thank goodness!
If you have a pup or remember when your pup explored everything environmental with their mouths, do you have any tips for me please?
I’d love to see what you’re crocheting. You can easily share in the Facebook group and your project doesn’t have to be one of my patterns!
Don’t forget to let me know if there are any patterns you’d love to work on in 2026 and if there are any roundups of patterns you’d be interested in.
Happy crocheting
Shaz 🌸
