What you need to know

Have a go at colourwork in Helen Ardley’s cheerful make

Whether outdoors in the park or under a gazebo because the showers have started, we love a picnic. Before you get carried away dreaming of all those tasty treats, check out our bright and beautiful blanket that will add that crafty touch to your spread. Although it looks like patchwork, it’s actually knitted in one piece using a neat colour blocking technique known as intarsia. Turn over and we’ll tell you all you need to know.
