We'll be releasing the first instalment on Friday 22 December along with a helpful step by step guide on how to make your first square.

The first instalment will be a large motif. This idyllic granny square is made in rounds of trebles and double crochet stitches, a twist on a classic square. Use a minimum of three colours.

The second square is a medium motif, a dream-like floral inspired granny square, with a round centre and crocheted petals, this square use four colours and will sit wonderfully amongst the throw.

The third instalment is the spellbinding second medium motif. Made from treble stitches, in rounds of stripes.

The fourth square is the fantastical third medium motif, this square is made up of double crochet and treble stitches, making use of the chain spaces, resulting in a very pretty square to add to the throw. Use four different colours to make this one.

The fifth instalment are the two small motifs. These are the smallest of the squares, and a very charming addition to the throw. Make using three colours for each of these squares.

The sixth and final instalment is a guide on how to put your beautiful squares together into a throw. Complete with a very handy diagram of how to join the squares together, making the throw easy to finish.
