Jane Crowfoot - Magic Circles Crochet Blanket Pattern Book

Jane loves looking at how shapes fit together and has wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or octagonal, she has designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.

The pattern is available in UK and US terminology and the Dutch language. There are colour images throughout. The pattern includes a clear layout plan and a chart is also included for reference when joining the small circles.

Stitches used in this project are ch,ss, dc, htr, tr and dtr.

The is a 12 page printed pattern.
