Join Sirdar and Katie Jones for the sunniest make along of the summer. This beginner-friendly CAL starts with the simplest granny square and builds your crochet confidence over six weeks to create a bright, bold picnic blanket ready to make summer memories. Designed by Katie Jones, the colourful personality behind the popular crochet brand KatieJonesKnit.

Katie designed the Day Tripper Picnic Blanket exclusively for Sirdar, inspired by the pop art of Peter Blake and The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine. Perfect for experienced crocheters and beginners alike, Katie’s design is made up of five square motifs in a graphic abstract pattern, to bring the joy of summer to your crochet hook.

Each week, Katie will introduce a new motif so you’ll learn new stitches and techniques as you go and, if you’re a beginner, build your crochet skills from zero to hero!

Launching on 4 May 2022, the pattern will be released weekly by Sirdar for 5 weeks.

The pack contains all the yarn you need in a lovely bag to keep it all in!
