This pattern brings a modern twist to a timeless stitch, combining a pebble-like texture with subtle pops of colour. Using the lemon peel stitch, you’ll create 25 squares in five contrasting shades, each set against stripes of a soft cream main colour. The result is a fresh, vibrant design that highlights both the stitch detail and the interplay of colours.

It’s an ideal project for crocheters who enjoy working in smaller, manageable pieces before assembling them into a larger design. A simple lemon peel border ties the entire piece together beautifully.

Gauge: 1 square made as per pattern with 15 rounds = 23cm/9in square (unblocked). Gauge is not critical, but it may affect yarn quantities and finished size.

Finished Size: approximately 120cm × 120cm (47in × 47in). This includes a border of approximately 2cm around the blanket.
