A brand new crochet adventure is blooming this September!

Inspired by one of my favourite flowers and the daisy-filled garden that surrounds me, “Don’t Cut The Daisies” is a joyful crochet blanket designed to bring a little sunshine into every stitch.

This Crochet Along (CAL) will be released in four parts (starting September 7th 2026), with a new section arriving every fortnight. Just when you think you’ve reached the finish line, there’s also a secret bonus part waiting at the end!

Choose Your Daisy
The Everyday Daisy
My budget-friendly option and one of my favourite yarns to design with. Soft, durable, machine washable and available in a wonderful range of colours.

You will need: Wendy Supreme DK (100g/295m) in 56-Buttercup (1), 01-White (3) and 46-Spring Meadow (8), 4.00mm hook, stitch markers, yarn needle.
Approximate finished size: 120cm square

The Luxury Daisy
A beautiful 100% British wool version with exceptional stitch definition and rich, vibrant colour. Perfect for those who love natural fibres and heirloom-quality projects.

You will need: West Yorkshire Spinners Colour Lab DK (100g/225m) in 229-Citrus Yellow (1), 011-Arctic White (3) and 1134-Shamrock (11), 4.00mm hook, stitch markers, yarn needle.
Approximate finished size: 120cm square

The Giant Daisy
For those who like their blankets big, cosy and wonderfully squishy. The added wool provides warmth while keeping the project affordable, and the finished blanket is large enough for a double bed.

You will need: Wendy with Wool Aran (400g/800m) in 08 Mustard (1), 00 White (2) and 18 Pesto (4), 5.00mm hook, stitch markers, yarn needle.
Approximate finished size: 160cm square

Please Note: Since originally designing this blanket, Wendy with Wool Aran has been discontinued in the colour I used. I am working hard to get samples made in alternative yarn and or colours but this will not be finished before the CAL goes live.
