It's the final Friday for our current yarn of the month, CoopKnits Socks Yeah!

So to celebrate, we thought we'd launch a new pattern!

Introducing the Vintage Hexie Blanket by Heike Gittins:

Find the blanket on Ravelry here.

The perfect size for a pram or lap blanket, this pattern is simple to work and would be a great pattern for anyone who has mastered basic crochet stitches such as slip stitch, double crochet and trebles.

Made up of fun to work hexagons, with a cute daisy centre we think this would look super cute either in a nursery or on your sofa!

Best of all, the hexagons are crocheted together, so there's no pesky sewing. Of course, worked up in CoopKnits Socks Yeah! the blanket will be really hard wearing and easy to care for so it's sure to become a favourite.

We're giving you the chance to download this gorgeous pattern for free until the end of February, just visit the Ravelry page here, add the pattern to the cart and type (or copy and paste) the code sockblanketyeah into the coupon code box. We've added a blanket planner to the pattern so you can plan your own unique arrangement of squares too. We'd love to see what you come up with, so please tag us on intstagram, twitter (@fyberspates) and Facebook if you post any photos, or show us your projects in our Ravelry group.

Last but not least, we have a little giveaway for you!
