The ‘Woodland Wonders’ crochet-along (CAL) blanket, designed by Eleonora Tully for King Cole, is inspired by a variety of Woodland Wonders.
Beautiful trees, carpets of bluebells, acorns and the changing colours of autumn leaves are just some of the Woodland Wonders captured in crochet!
The middle section of squares is adorned with sunflowers, fairy-tale mushrooms and a sleeping fox…
From the 7th of June 2024 the pattern will be published in 6 weekly instalments on our website. Share your progress on our Facebook CAL group and join in!
This pattern can be made in either our Cottonsoft DK or Big Value DK 50g.

Let’s begin our wander through the woods with so many woodland wonders to enjoy! It’s wonderful to be walking amongst the beautiful trees… Depending on the time of year, we notice flashes of colour from various springtime flowers or see the stunning vibrant changing autumn leaves. And then a simple woodland sunflower just off the forest path might stop us in our tracks…

Part Two UPDATE- 14th of June: The Mushroom Square.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we missed ‘Round 2’ of the Mushroom Square from Week 2 of our Woodland Wonders CAL video. We know how excited everyone is to continue this journey, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Our new YouTube video for this section is now online below and ready to guide you through ‘Round 2’. 🎥✨
Wandering further into the woods we come across a carpet of Bluebells. That’s truly a wonderful sight to behold… a perfect woodland wonder in spring! Later in the year we spot some gorgeous lush green acorns growing on the mighty oak trees, we come across rows of beautiful tall Conifer trees and then there’s the Fly Agaric mushroom… just off the path at the foot of a tree we see these enchanting fairytale mushrooms!
Part Three – 21st of June:
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 03: UK Terms
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 03: US Terms
Let’s take a rest on our woodland wander and find a comfortable place to sit a while…wrapped up warm we listen to the sounds of the forest and savour the views of more autumn colours. Nearby there’s a sleeping fox… we may or may not see this beautiful creature and many of the other woodland wonders around us that are there but not so easy to see. Careful not to disturb the resting woodland wonders!
Part Four – 28th of June:
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 04: UK Terms
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 04: US Terms
Are we walking a circular route through the woods or is it time to retrace our steps and go back the same way we came? We’ve reached our furthest point and as we start to think about heading back home we may see woodland wonders that we didn’t notice on the way!
Part Five – 5th of July:
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 05: UK Terms
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 05: US Terms
Look… there are some more bluebells! Flashes of violet and lavender colours as we approach a full carpet of flowers. What a glorious wander through the woods it’s been!
Part Six – 12th of July:
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 06: UK terms
CAL Woodland Wonders Part 06: US Terms
Our woodland wander amongst the trees, enjoying all the woodland wonders, is coming to an end! We finish with a border of beautiful trailing leaves and then there are some forget-me-not flowers… scatter them around the blanket to symbolise all the happy memories from our wander through the woods.
A massive thank you to Eleonora Tully of Coastal Crochet for this stunning pattern, Joanne Whitehead for the how-to video tutorials, and to everyone who has joined in on this journey with us!
