Welcome to the Gingerbread crochet along hosted by our friends at Sirdar! This is the sweetest blanket to crochet, with a special, limited-edition woven label, free when you buy a Hayfield Bonus DK kit! 

Over six weeks you’ll crochet your way through peppermints and stripes, gumdrops and ribbons, festive lights, an adorable gingerbread house and top it all off with a sprinkling of fringe. Learn new crochet stitches along the way with easy-to-follow video tutorials from designer Lindsey Newns and create a holiday heirloom to cherish!

Supported by weekly patterns and helpful videos, the Gingerbread CAL is suitable for all skill levels. So join in and sign-up at Sirdar.com to receive your weekly patterns. Starts October 16th!

Supplies

In addition to your yarn, you will need a size G (4mm) crochet hook, and a tapestry needle.

We have kits in the original colorway that include the specially designed label.
