Jane Crowfoot Gladsmuir Cushion Cover
£6.95
I originally designed this crochet cushion cover for the Edinburgh Yarn Festival Publication in 2017. The cover is predominantly made in shades of grey, but has turquoise and chartreuse highlights. I think it would look lovely in multicolours and would make a great stash buster too!
The cover uses a few different crochet techniques including block crochet and wave stitches. The cover is made from motifs that are worked from corner to corner and then joined together using double crochet and chain stitches. the back cover is different from the front.
Pattern only available in UK terminology.
Finished blocked measurement: approx 43.5cm (17in) x 43.5cm (17in) to fit a cushion pad 45cm (18in) x 45cm (18in).

Jane Crowfoot Julie’s Bunting
£6.95
My amazing sister-in law, Julie, adored bunting. Any excuse for a party and Julie would be there with a step ladder and loads of bunting to decorate the room! We lost Julie after a courageous battle with cancer earlier on this year, so I wanted to design
something in her memory. A pretty, floral bunting that features some beads and yarn in her favourite colour, yellow, was the obvious choice.

Jane Crowfoot Streymoy Knitted Cushion
£6.95
I designed this project for a workshop group who joined me on a Stitchtopia cruise around the UK and over to the Faroe Islands in 2018. I based this design on traditional Faroese fairisle designs, where 2 shades of yarn are used in each round.
The design uses 2 main shades (grey and cream) and 3 contrast shades. The cover is worked in the round and is fastened with 7 buttons.
Pattern only available in UK terminology.
Finished blocked measurements - Approximately 45cm (18in) x 34cm (13in).

Jane Crowfoot Persian Tiles Blanket
£6.95
This crochet blanket design is based on traditional Persian ceramic patterns. The project is relatively simple in construction, consisting of just 4 different motifs; the main octagon piece surrounded by variations on granny squares and triangles.
In 2013 I designed a project for my crochet club using Persian and Moroccan textiles and architecture as my inspiration. The resulting blanket was
exclusive to my crochet club members, so the pattern is no longer available. It is a theme I wanted to revisit though, as the colours and shapes
work so well in crochet and we are constantly asked for a project that echoes the original design.
This blanket is simpler in construction than the original crochet club project and there are just four different motifs within the design;
the main octagon piece, of which you need to make sixteen, is surrounded by variations on granny squares and triangles in shades
of blue and cream. The project is relatively simple to make and I really enjoyed designing it.
Pattern available in UK & US terminology, includes written instructions and charts.
Blocked measurement: approximately 115cm (45 1/4in) x 115cm (45 1/4in).

Jane Crowfoot Festive Crochet Decorations
£6.95
I love the way unpacking the decorations year after year and arranging them around the house brings back lots of lovely memories and good feelings.
Handmade decorations make extra special gifts as they convey that sentiment too and are a great way of using up odds and ends of yarn from your stash. I have used 4 shades of yarn for a more contemporary, simple look, but I think these would also look great made with all sorts of yarn types and colours with added buttons, beads and ribbon to add in a big splash of fun!

Jane Crowfoot Beaded Christmas Decorations
£8.95
These brightly coloured beaded crochet decorations first appeared in Inside Crochet magazine, issue #130. They use small amounts of Stylecraft Naturals Bamboo + Cotton yarn, but you could use any left overs of DK weight yarn. The 16 page pattern includes step-by-step instructions (with images) for adding beads to your crochet. There are 4 decorations included in the pattern, each shown in two alternative colourways.
I love putting the decorations on the tree or around the house at Christmas time.
I have a really eclectic assortment of hanging baubles, adornments and trimmings that I use to make our home feel festive. Our decorations have been collected over the years - some belonged to Andy's Grandparents and we have baubles we found whilst on trips away and some were made by our children when they were small. My favourite is probably the paper angel with a head made from a ping pong ball, with a wonky smile drawn in felt tip pen and a dress made from a paper dolly that Charlie made when he was at primary school. I think he cringes a little when I pop it on the tree!

I am a bit of a magpie. I am a sucker for a bit of bling and get easily side-tracked by sequins, sparkles and shiny things. These days I find it a little easier to resist the temptation of glistening, shimmery items as I wander around the shops, but I am still madly in love with the technique of adding beads to my crochet. I loved creating these twinkly decorations, which would look great hung from the tree or worn as a stunning corsage.

Jane Crowfoot Mystical Lanterns Blanket
£6.95
The name of a repeated tessellating design, like the one I have used in this design, is called an 'Ogee' pattern in Arabesque design. It took me a few weeks
to get the design of these blocks right; initially I came up with lots of really complicated ways to create this motif, but in the end it was so simple.
It is funny how sometimes a design process can take so long and then the outcome can be so easy to make!
The pattern for the lantern shape motif is based on a granny hexagon pattern, but I have made a few changes to come up with the curved design that tessellates.
Pattern available in UK & US terminology.

Jane Crowfoot Cafe au Lait and Beaded Pouches
£6.95
I love projects that use up left overs or small amounts of yarn and I really adore adding beads to crochet stitches,
so I am really excited that the pattern for the beaded pouches are now available for all you eager crocheters who
love stash busting projects and a bit of bling too!
The pattern includes instructions for two versions, which I have called Cafe au Lait (the brown coffee one) and French Linen
(the pale flax coloured version). You can choose whether or not to add lots of beads and a pretty additional flower, which I
have taken from the Fruit Garden Blanket project and revamped a little.

Jane Crowfoot Twinkle Bunting
£6.95
I love how decorating the house at Christmas time brings back so many family memories.
We have some decorations that date back quite a few generations and I especially like these old pieces. When setting out to design
this bunting I wanted to create some crochet motifs that echoed the shape of our precious vintage Christmas tree baubles.
I have added beads, bells and little 'shisha' mirrors to add a touch of sparkle and I am so pleased with the results.
The pattern for the bunting is written with three classic shades in mind - Navy, Mustard and Grey,
but you could raid your stash for multicoloured left overs to create a very different, vibrant look.

Jane Crowfoot Hollicarrs Beaded Scarf
£6.95
Hollicarrs is a beautiful crochet scarf with a subtle bead pattern that enhances its lovely drape. The project could be worn as a traditional scarf or a smart shawl and I love the way the beads catch the light. The beads are added into the stitch as you crochet using the half treble stitch (US half double). You can find a YouTube video that shows the technique by following this link.
This lace and bead scarf design was originally published in Rachel Atkinson's book Daughter of a Shepherd: Volume One. The pattern was written for a DK weight of yarn, but has now been updated using 4 ply. If you choose to make it in a yarn other than Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply please make sure you calculate the yarn amounts and work a tension piece first.
The pattern includes written and charted instructions and is available in UK & US terminology.
Finished blocked measurements: Approximately 25cm (9 7/8in) x 154cm (60 3/4in).

Jane Crowfoot Gertrude Floral Cushion
£6.95
I love my garden and really enjoy watching how it changes throughout the year depending on the season. I would really like to have a more homely and functional mix of flowers and herbs in our outdoor space, typical of cottage gardens, which became popular in the 1870s as a reaction to more formal gardens. One of the positives of a garden of this type is that they are more easily maintained as the compact planting leaves little space for weeds - something I really like the idea of!
Crocheted flowers are pretty much my favourite thing to make and I adore adding beads into my work too, so this project was a real joy to design and make. I wanted to create a vintage feel and chose my yarn shades accordingly. I think the little lime green beads provide a lovely pop of colour on the leaves of the dainty crochet blooms. You could always use this pattern to make pretty brooches or to use as part of a larger, fascinator style piece.
I adored the velvet smocked cushions that my Auntie Muriel had on her bed when I was a child in the 1970s. I used to love running my fingers over the velvet pile and found the smocked stitching fascinating. The cushions were just so enticing and luxurious that I remember thinking that I would definitely have some on my bed when I was old enough! I have previously recreated the style of these cushions in a knit design I called Madeleine, which was published in my book Homespun Vintage, but I have always wanted to create a crochet version too.
When working on the Muriel cushion project I decided to add pretty bobbles instead of smocked style stitching to make a simple accompaniment to my Gertrude cushion, which features pretty flowers and beads. I have always struggled with the way crochet worked in the round can look like it has a 'scar' running through it, so my challenge for this project was to design something that would hide the way slip stitches appear without having to fasten off yarns at the end of every round.
The pattern includes full written instructions, step-by-step images and charts, and is available in UK and US terms.
Blocked Measurement: to fit 35cm (14in) square cushion pad.

Jane Crowfoot Blue House Blanket
£6.95
The main hexagonal motif used in this project was originally designed to be part of my Frida's Flowers blanket crochet along project in 2016, however I felt it wasn't totally right for the design, so I made an alternative piece instead. Despite its omission from the project, I love the motif and so I named it 'Diego's Flowers' after Frida Kahlo's husband Diego Rivera.
The colours for this project were inspired by the décor of Frida & Diego's fabulous kitchen within their home in Mexico City 'The Blue House', which is now a museum. The kitchen surfaces feature bright yellow and blue ceramic tiles and the painted table and chairs that sit at the centre of the room have green and red hand painted details. The large terracotta bowls and cooking pots that are placed around the room are decorated with flashes of orange and pink - all colours that feature in the palette I have chosen for this project.
I adore the fun 'fiesta' feeling of this blanket and am really pleased with the outcome of it, but I also love seeing how motifs can be used to make alternative projects, so I asked ace crocheters Marina Kelly, Gemma Biggs and Sue Macdonald if they would like to come up with a couple of ideas for how to use the motifs in another project. Within this pattern we have included some images of the fabulous cushion project made by Marina and the vibrant handy bag project made by Gemma as well as the fun, stash busting mandala that Sue created. I love seeing my designs 'out in the wild' and I think the way Marina, Gemma and Sue have interpreted the pattern is fantastic. Hopefully you will be inspired too!
The pattern is written in UK & US terms and it includes written instructions and crochet charts.
Please note that this is a pattern for the blanket project. Instructions are included for how to make a hexagon and half hexagon motif. The images of the bag, cushion and mandala are shown here to give you ideas of how you could interpret the crochet motif to make alternative projects.

I think it is a great stash busting project as it is brilliant for using up little bits of left overs!

Jane Crowfoot Oonagh Cushion Cover
£6.95
I designed this cushion cover for a workshop trip to the West of Ireland. As the focus of the trip was the knitting heritage of the Aran Islands, that sit at the mouth of Galway Bay, I chose to use traditional cable stitch designs and textural patterns. To give the cover a more contemporary twist, and because I adore a bit of bling, I also added some beads using a slip-stitch method that enables the beads to create a cross pattern.
I used traditional cream yarns as the shade for the first cushion cover with gold and green beads to echo the national colours of Ireland, but I had a feeling it would also look great in red with silver beads, so I set about creating a new version especially for the Festive Season. I really love the way the silver beads sparkle on this cover.
Of course, you can use any yarn shade and bead combinations and I hope you will enjoy making your cushion cover too!

Jane Crowfoot Beaded Pine Winter Mitts
£6.95
In the winter months I get really cold hands, especially when typing, knitting, or crocheting, so I am always on the lookout for things to keep my fingers and wrists warm. I find mitts less restrictive than gloves and I have quite a few pairs so that I can mix and match what I am wearing. I think mitts help keep aches and pains in my wrists at bay during the cold weather too, as they keep everything nice and toasty!
I wanted to design a pair of mitts with a simple ‘Scandi’ feel, looking at pine forests and snowy landscapes as the inspiration. The beaded tree is a little tricky to create, but I am so happy with the way it turned out after lots of sampling!
To begin with the mitts are made as a flat piece from the top down, with the edging and cuffs made in the round afterwards. You can choose to make them with the beaded tree or without.

Jane Crowfoot Magic Circles Blanket
£6.95
I love looking at how shapes fit together and had wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or octagonal, I have designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.
When making the small infill circles you are asked to make a magic loop to start.
You can find a technique download that explains how to do this by following this link.
Instructions on how to add surface crochet can be found by following this link.
The pattern includes a clear layout plan and a chart is also included for reference when joining the small circles.

Jane Crowfoot Mexican Diamonds Blanket
£6.95
I really love traditional Mexican textiles and often look at woven fabrics, embroidery and crewel work for design inspiration. This design was also inspired by the repeated, jagged edged, diamonds found on woven rugs.
I have created a flower motif to sit at the centre of this design to echo floral embroidery; I think the use of surface crochet slip stitches around the outside of the leaves enhances the idea of hand stitching. I am particularly pleased with the flowers that sit on the edge of the blanket as they create a really unusual border.
I thoroughly enjoyed designing this project and I hope you will enjoy making it too!

Jane Crowfoot Indigo Dreams & Crimson Dreams Blanket
£8.95

The pattern includes full written instructions, step-by-step images and charts, and is available in UK and US terms.
The blanket was inspired by a Kantha stitched bedspread I found on one of my visits to India and by my love of traditional patchwork quilt designs and tessellations. The blanket is possibly one of my easiest designs to date, with many of the pieces based on traditional Granny Square motifs. The project starts off with simple pieces and gets progressively harder.

Jane Crowfoot Summer Palace Blanket
£6.95
The blanket design was initially inspired by an image of a printed cushion cover I found in a magazine, but having visited the Tipu Sultan's summer palace near Mysore in India a few years ago I was inspired to look at the design again and link it into my Mysore collection.
I feel that the design reflects the wonderful carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building,
but the original version also retains it's slightly Scandinavian looking design, which I originally felt echoed traditional
fairisle design and would be the perfect cosy feeling winter blanket.
I revisited the design for the wrap version and felt that the wonderful colours within the range of Baa Ram Ewe's lovely yarn 'Pip Colourwork' reflected the elaborate carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building.

Jane Crowfoot Delft Blanket
£8.95
The Delft crochet blanket was inspired by Jane's love of blue and cream pottery. She loves the way the octagon motifs create the idea of tessellating decorated plates.
I have always been a lover of blue and cream pottery. When I was a child we would often visit my elderly auntie for afternoon tea and so were used to seeing the ‘Willow Pattern’ on sandwich plates and teacups. The pattern featured an elaborate Chinoiserie design that was popular towards the end of the 18th Century. Despite having an oriental style of design, pottery featuring the Willow Pattern originally came from Stoke-on-Trent, but a lot of pottery featuring the design also came from China via the East India Company.

Jane Crowfoot Lotus Flower Shawl
£6.95
Within the City Palace complex in Jaipur there are four gate buildings that surround the inner courtyard, which leads to the Chandra Mahal - the main palace building within the complex. The four gates are adorned with themes that represent the four seasons and Hindu Gods. The Lotus Gate, which sits to the Southern side of the courtyard, and is dedicated to Lord Shiva-Parvati was the inspiration for this design. The Lotus Gate represented the summer and the incredible painted patterns within the archway around the central wooden doors feature a continuous fanned flower tessellation and Lotus flowers in full bloom are featured on the facade.
The Lotus Gate alone features a huge amount of wonderful surface pattern and therefore design inspiration, but it is the Peacock Gate, which sits to the Northern side of the courtyard and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and the winter season, which is the most ornately decorated. If you ever get a chance to visit Jaipur, you must make sure you go to the Palace and seek out the gates, or, if you're not likely to visit India, you can always search online.
The design is relatively easy to crochet. It is a "join as you go" project, which you could find a little tricky if you have never done it before. The printed brochure pattern includes lots of step by step images, charts and diagrams to help.

Jane Crowfoot Catalina Beaded Pouch
£6.95
I was so lucky to tutor an amazing textile workshop trip to Peru during the summer of 2024. It is a truly incredible country, and I adored it!
This is the pattern for the crochet pouch project that I designed for participants to work on during our trip. It is mainly worked in panels so that the project is portable and easy to work on while travelling. Crocheting just a few stitches in rows can be quite quick to do and using stitch markers will help you keep track of your row count.
Peru has an amazing heritage of textile and yarn production, so I decided it was suitable to use a beautiful yarn that includes alpaca fibre from Rowan Yarns. I also used some lovely beads from the Debbie Abrahams range which, I think, give the project an extra special quality.

Jane Crowfoot Glad Tidings Wrap
£6.95
The Glad Tidings Wrap was originally designed as the Advent project for Jimmy Beans Wool in the US and released in December 2021. The original design used 16 mini skeins of yarn, with a new shade added to the design each day in the lead up to Christmas. The design is a great stash-buster if you have lots of little bits of left over 4-ply yarn, or you could use a curated collection of mini skeins.
The wrap is made by working a central crochet band which is added to daily. In the Jimmy Beans version the colours used on each side of the central band pretty much matched each other in terms of colour and we have made a version using Scheepjes Whirl, which does the same. You could create a quite different effect by using random shades or treating the wrap like a 'temperature' project where you assign colours to different temperatures and select your yarn according to the warmth of the weather that day. However you choose to approach making the wrap, I hope you will enjoy creating this project.
The pattern includes full written instructions, images and charts, and is available in UK and US terms.

Jane Crowfoot Royal Garden Blanket
£8.95
This pattern is one of four designs inspired by Jane’s trips to the Green Hotel, Mysore, India. There are lots of places within the hotel and its surrounding grounds to sit and relax, but one of Jane’s favourite places is the coffee shop, which is situated towards the back of the building within a lovely atrium, which in turn features a terracotta tiled floor and a central open garden of vines and shrubs.
This design is based on two aspects of the hotel gardens: the floor tiles found within the atrium coffee shop and the formal, quilt-like layout of the main garden, which sits to the front of the hotel. The main garden provides another lovely place to relax and features walled flowerbeds full of lovely gold, orange and pink marigolds, fresh green lawns and smartly pruned bushes. In the evening the garden takes on a magical quality when thousands of creamy fairy lights twinkle in the foliage.’
Stitches used: chain, slipstitch, double crochet, half treble, treble, double treble, double crochet 2 together, treble crochet 3 together. Joined using the Continuous Flat Braid method.

Jane Crowfoot Halley Beaded Pouch
£6.95
When I am on a night out, I find large bags cumbersome, and I always worry about putting it down and forgetting about it. I tend to travel light and often just pop my bank cards, a couple of keys, my phone and maybe a lipstick into a bag before heading out. A small pouch is the perfect size for me, and I especially like cross body bags with long straps which mean I don’t have to worry about taking it out and losing it! I have a few bags that meet my needs, but I wanted to create a special little pouch that would be just the thing for a sparkly evening out or party – the perfect little accompaniment to that extra special outfit and I am so happy with how this project turned out.
I chose three yarn shades for my bag and two bead colours, but you could simplify things by using one yarn and fewer bead colours, or you could really glitz things up by making each beaded hexagon a combination of yarn and bead colours. I am excited to see what you come up with.

Jane Crowfoot Fields of Gold Blanket
£6.95
I love botanical drawings and so a few years ago I purchased a fabulous book from Kew Gardens with the most wonderful illustrations. There is a page within the book that features sunflowers, hellebores and opium poppy seed heads and it made me think of the fields of sunflowers we walked through on a lovely french holiday a few years ago.
I have always loved sunflowers with all of their connotations to heat and sunshine.
Vincent Van Gogh, whose series of sunflower still life studies are infamous, saw these stunning flowers as a symbol of friendship and gratitude, so using them as the inspiration for a design was inevitable. As wild poppies are commonplace in fields of sunflowers, it was logical that this design should feature them too.

Jane Crowfoot Bohemian Blooms Crochet Blanket
£14.95
Bohemian Blooms - Jane Crowfoot
This blanket design was inspired by the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant of The Bloomsbury Group and in particular their home 'Charleston Farmhouse' and the murals they painted at the nearby Berwick Village Church.
I had wanted to design a project using Charleston as my inspiration for many years, so I decided that this project should be a trade heirloom piece. I have used a collection of high end Rowan Yarns, including Soft Yak and Baby Merino Silk in DK weight yarns and have also chosen to use beads for an extra focal point.
The patterns for this project are available within a 96 page soft bound book 'Bohemian Blooms', which includes more detailed information about my design inspiration and step-by-step images for each of the crochet motifs.
