🌸 The Blooming Tiles Crochet Along is here!

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

It’s finally time… and I’m so excited to invite you to something really special 💗

The Blooming Tiles Blanket Crochet Along is starting on 27th April—and you’re officially invited to join in.

This is a floral, mosaic crochet blanket made up of four beautiful tile designs, worked in the round (yes, really!) so you get all that gorgeous mosaic detail… without sewing in all those ends. You’ll simply carry your yarn up the side as you go 🙌

Each week, a new tile will be released on the blog, starting with Tile One on the 27th April. It’s designed to be relaxing, rewarding, and easy to fit into real life—perfect for those pockets of crochet time we all grab when we can.

✨ Want a head start?
The full Blooming Tiles eBook launches on 24th April, and includes:

All four tile patterns
Mosaic crochet charts
Extra stitch tutorials
Full blanket schematic and arrangement options

So if you’re the type who likes to get going early (or just can’t wait 😄), you’ll be able to dive straight in.

🧶 Yarn Details (Stashbuster Friendly!)

This project is perfect for using up your stash. You’ll need:

DK weight acrylic yarn
6 colours for the tiles (2 per square, mixed and matched)
1 main colour for borders & joining

If you’d like to make yours the same as mine, I used:

Paintbox Yarns Simply DK
MC (borders & joining): Pistachio Green (124)

CC (squares):
Pine Green (67)
Cerulean Blue (74)
Blush Pink (153)
Dusty Lilac (146)
Vanilla Cream (107)
Greige Pink (81)

Think soft florals, mix-and-match pastels… or go completely your own way 💐

This crochet along is all about slowing down, enjoying the process, and watching your blanket bloom one tile at a time. It's great for working on on-the-go too!

I’ll be crocheting right alongside you, and I can’t wait to see your colour choices and progress as we go.

👉 Keep an eye on your inbox for the eBook launch on the 24th!
👉 Then get ready for Tile One on the 27th!

Let’s make something beautiful together 🌸

Getting ahead 🎄

Hi Reader, The summer holidays are looming, it's almost July and I'm trying to get organised ready for the busy season! This year I'm properly leaning into Christmas in July (I know, I know, it might feel impossible to start thinking about Christmas now - but from a crochet perspective it totally makes sense!) Over the next month, I'll be sharing on email and on my socials lots of different Christmas patterns, so you can plan and get started on those gifts and decorations before it's too...

A little Easter pattern (and a weekend treat) 🌿

Hi Reader, I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the Spring Landscapes crochet pattern so far. It’s been so nice seeing new motifs going up on the blog each day, and I’ve really loved spotting your makes starting to appear too. The crochet along for that will continue, but I couldn’t quite resist sharing something else with you today. The weather has been warming up here, and yesterday I spent all afternoon outside watching my son at his school cross-country event. It was beautifully sunny...
