The Rambling Rose Wrap & Blanket are one of seven patterns in issue four of John Arbon Textiles’ in house magazine, The Annual, which will be published in September 2024. This listing is for the Blanket and there is a separate listing for the Wrap.

There are kits available for this pattern.

Rambling roses are a quintessential feature of any cottage garden. They offer interest all year round from fragrant blooms at the height of summer to colourful rosehips in the waning autumnal months. Our Yarnadelic Worsted makes a soft blanket that is perfect for picnics. The main body is crocheted in a simple one-row repeat followed by border rounds. The rosehips are added as an optional embellishment, using a mixture of surface crochet and embroidery. Pattern uses UK crochet terms.
