Do you know a child with a favourite storytime character? Crochet them a hooded blanket, then settle down to complete the entourage!
Bedtime bookworms will love snuggling up and listening to their favourite story in a cosy hooded blanket. Bring storytime to life as they act out the characters – will they be a goodie or a baddie, Little Red Riding Hood or the wolf?
Lynne Rowe’s latest new book has ten fun, fairytale projects to crochet, including a deer, a dragon, a lion and a unicorn. Each blanket can be made in two sizes: for toddlers (age 2 to 4) and for young children (age 5 to 7).
Along with crochet techniques, there are suggestions for varying the yarn colour to create a different character (changing a polar bear into a brown bear, for example) and you can choose between a rounded or a pointed hood. Lynne has also designed a strip of matching bunting to accompany each project.
Every blanket tells a story, with pockets on the sides for snuggly paws and different tails. Perfect for unwinding for a bedtime story and animating the oral tradition of storytelling – little listeners, as well as their parents, will find themselves enchanted.

From the Publisher

Do you have a little bookworm in your life?

Or someone who loves to act out stories?

You’re bound to find your favourite fairytale characters here, the only problem you’ll have is which to make first.

Inspired by my own children, who always loved to dress up and play-act, this whimsical collection of blankets will bring a beaming smile to your little one’s face, as they act out their own favourite stories and fairytales, wrapped in their warm, woolly blanket, like a great big hug.

I’ve added a strip of matching bunting for each blanket, so you can get creative and decorate a nursery or bedroom with your child’s favourite themed garland, all ready for story time.

All of the blankets use ‘corner to corner’ crochet, which is one of my favourite crochet stitches. It has a gentle and repetitive rhythm which helps me to relax, unwind and de-stress after a busy day.

So grab your hooks and yarn and get ready to start your fairytale crochet adventure.

Happy crocheting,

Lynne x
