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. 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.
In 2017 Persian Tiles was recoloured by crochet designer Lucia Dunn. Lucia's resulting project is called 'Eastern Jewels'
and many stockists, including ourselves, sell yarn packs for the new version that include a colour substitution document.
The Eastern Jewels colour way substitution document is also available separately to yarn packs from Lucia's Fig Tree.
The original Persian Tiles pattern is written for Stylecraft Life DK and Special DK and lists yarn amounts for both
of these in the original colour way. The pattern includes written instructions and charts.
