Welcome to the Blossom & Buds Spring crochet along hosted by our friends at Sirdar! This is the sweetest blanket to crochet in fresh shades that span the rainbow, with a special, limited-edition woven label, free when you buy a Hayfield Bonus DK kit! (Label available while supplies last.)

Over six weeks you’ll journey through a floral wonderland of blossoms, tulips and daisies sprinkled across a lawn of green and gold. Start out slow, but learn new crochet stitches along the way - including crochet pom poms!

Supported by weekly patterns and helpful videos, the Blossom & Buds Spring Blanket CAL is suitable for all skill levels. So join in and sign-up at Sirdar.com to receive your weekly patterns. Starts May 1st!

Learn more about designer Lindsey Newns and get a preview of the crochet along, the actual blanket and what you can expect throughout the event with this introduction video!
