Call the Midwife Blanket - UK pattern

2 replies

Florence1960 · 17/04/2021 17:18

Please can anyone point me in the right direction of a UK version of the Call the Midwife blanket pattern? Preferably free šŸ˜€
I’m an ok crocheter and would like to give it a whirl but I can only find US patterns and tutorials. I can see one by a Scottish lady but I don’t think it’s the whole thing. I just think I’ll get in a muddle with an American pattern. I can’t read charts šŸ™„
Many thanks

This is the one I've always used and it's really easy even with the American terms... it's like a few lines of repeat - write it out and change the terminology if needs be.

Basically the UK terms go one bigger than the American ones:

So US single crochet = UK double crochet (also if you SEE SC in a pattern you KNOW it's US terms as a handy check)
and US double crochet = UK treble crochet

All you need for the CTM pattern is chains, trebles (UK terms) and slip stitches.

I used to cross out the American terms and write the UK terms in to start with.

Revelry.com (knitting ans crotchet site) lists this pattern from Patons 6369 leaflet.
This is an English pattern and a photocopy can be bought on eBay priced £1.99.
