We invited members of the East London Crochet group, new and old, to come together and use each of their individual styles to each design a strip that can be joined together to create a single bed size blanket, this is Strip 6 designed by Shelia Richardson, including her pattern of an elephant which was created when she was challenged by Barbara Mann in the early years of East London Crochet Group.

This pattern uses double filet crochet, also known as interlocking and intermeshing crochet.

Please take the time to check out the introduction to the CAL if you have not used an ELCG pattern before.

The patterns will be released monthly on the first Tuesday of the month GMT time, the strips do not have to be joined in order of their release.

All of our samples have been made in DK yarn on a 4.5mm hook which makes approx. a 15cm by 120cm strip.

For each strip you will need approx 205m of two strongly contrasting colours.
