Crochet Kit Favourites

Here are some favourite Crochet Kits from 2020.

As Crochet is still gaining momentum, we are developing new designs for patterns and kits. We realize that customers are loving our Rug Kits that are in variegated yarn and we’re sure the reason is that they can pick up their projects and catch up with their TV shows all in one go. Also, there are some beautiful yarns available now. Patons Sierra and Panda Crypto are easy to use with their massive meterage per ball. And a popular Acrylic Yarn is Fiddlesticks Superb 8, making colours fun to explore.

Fiddlesticks Superb 8 is gorgeous to make up Crochet & Knitting projects.

Summer Breeze Crochet Rug

Gorgeous New Pattern (PDF) and Kit is available.

We have realized that our customers love a simple Crochet pattern that they can sit in front of TV and do mindlessly. And on the other hand, they love a little challenge. Hence, why we designed Summer Breeze Crochet Rug.

This pattern may look complicated for the Crochet beginner, but there are mainly Double Crochet and Treble Stitches throughout, so if you can work those stitches, you’ll have no trouble.

Back in March this year (2020), our website was hacked and we lost our lovely online store.

We are using Facebook Messenger, Email and Phone Calls to service our customers at the moment and we are working on a new style of website.

Edit: New website is now available to view, click here to check it out.

Summer Breeze Crochet Rug Size: 120cm x 155cm

Here’s a close-up picture to show you the stitches and border.

Enjoy your weekend!

Rainbow Crochet Rug

Deanne fell in love with Crochet only 2 years ago.

Having tried it years before, a couple of times, the craft didn’t “stick” with her then. She didn’t get the concept of the stitches and the craft hadn’t been overly “trendy” back then.

When she discovered the wonderful world of Pinterest, that all changed.  If you have been on Pinterest and looked up Crochet, you know what we mean.  If you haven’t, we urge you to check it out.

The Rainbow Crochet Rug we are about to show you, is Deanne’s 2nd ever Crochet Rug.  With bright colours as her lead and a lovely Crochet square design in mind, Deanne wanted to make a very vibrant and eye-catching rug.

The initial idea was to make a scrappy colour, like this one;

When she asked her 10 year old daughter, Keira, what colour combination she would like to see, she came up with this; (clever girl!)

Wow!!  We were completely blown away.

So to confirm our decision, we took the question to Social Media and the results were overwhelming. Post is here on Instagram & Facebook.

A pattern had to be made.  And kits.  And we are so happy to make these available for you.

We can supply an Acrylic Yarn Kit using Fiddlesticks Superb 8 yarn. It takes 17 x 100g balls and, of course, is a cheaper way of making this rug.

A PDF Pattern is available with step-by-step instructions and pictures. Especially for those of you who already have a vast variety of wool at home.

As you can see, there are no changes in colour for each block, so it really does make this project a quick one to complete.  Rainbow Crochet Rug size is 95cm x 140cm with 140 blocks in total.

We hope you love it as much as we do.

Colour Burst Crochet Rug

Recently, Chris (The Blue Box Girl), had a male customer enter the shop who was attracted by a Crochet Rug we had on display. He definitely had a keen eye for colour and loved the look of crochet, so he ordered a similar rug to be made for his home.

Chris designed a new crochet rug for him in Patons Cotton Blend.  She used 11 bright colours out of the 25 available in that range. FYI, we have the whole kit here if you would love to make your own.
