Here are all of the titles hitting shelves this June!
Now that we're at the beginning of another month, it can only mean that it's time to round up what David & Charles have coming out this June! We have an array of crafty books coming to you this summer, so without further ado, let's take a look at our June new releases!
Crochet Illusion Blankets by Helen Smith
A collection of eye-catching 3D effect crochet patterns for different sized blankets and throws, that all have an optical illusion effect. These cleverly designed geometric blankets look impressive but are actually simple to make because the designer only uses one technique, intarsia crochet, and simple stitches.
There are 15 different designs in a variety of sizes from smaller throws through to large afghans. All of the crochet blanket patterns are written out in full and there are large charts for each of the designs for crocheters who prefer to follow charts. All of the blankets are made with Scheepjes Truly Scrumptious aran-weight yarn, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. This means that the blankets work up quickly and have a lovely drape as well as being visually striking.
Crochet Illusion Blankets is the debut book from the wonderful Helen Smith of EmKatCrochet. We ran a Crochet-A-Long to celebrate the release of Crochet Illusion Blankets! Find all of the details you need here to make your very own Illusion Blanket for free here on Bookmarked Hub.
