Crochet | Granny Hexagon Blanket ft. Plum Ombre Yarn Bundle from Bella Coco store

What more could you need to cheer yourself up on a cold winters day than a little crocheting. Especially when the colours are this pretty. 

DIY | Colourful Crocheted Bunting

 Whenever I head back to my mum's house I always find myself rumaging in her craft room  for new patterns and yarns to take home and create. She never fails to inspire me to get making. So when I stopped by a few weeks ago for a Sunday roast (why do parents' roasts always taste better?), I spotted a pattern for some crocheted bunting and had to give it a go. 

The pattern was in Simply Crochet (issue 45), a magazine that is great for beginner crocheters. Their designs are always really easy to follow and there is a range of levels and projects to get involved with. The bunting is made up of granny square triangles using double knit yarn, I followed the pattern but added my own twist and steps in certain areas, so here's how I made this crocheted bunting...

Trends | Colour Spot | Deep Green

As the weather is telling us we are well and truly into autumn and heading straight for winter, it’s time to start looking for some lovely, new additions to our wardrobes. Autumn is definitely my favourite season in fashion as the stores are always bursting with warming colours, folksy patterns and layers of textures. 

One particular colour that keeps catching my eye however is a gorgeous, rich green found on anything from coats to accessories and even co-ords. This colour is deeper than emerald and richer than dark green but bluer than khaki. Think deep bottle green mixed with autumnal jewel tones, look for wool or swede textures and if it comes in a sparkly version, ALL THE BETTER!
