New pattern release - Canmore Cloche

My cousin is an amateur photographer and has been posting beautiful shots of the local area on Facebook, via his RedBubble account. One of these, a photo of the undercroft in Dunfermline Abbey, had all sorts of crocheting possibilities running round my head. Finally, after a few false starts, the Canmore Cloche was born.

This pattern is in the January issue (issue 49) of Inside Crochet magazine and is on the newsstands now. It's available in various newsagents as well as in larger Tesco stores. It's also available digitally from the magazine's website.

The pattern uses raised stitches, cables and different stitch patterns to evoke the pillars and molding of the architecture. Instructions are given for s/m and m/l, meaning that it can be made to fit from child to adult sizes, and it's an easy pattern to adjust for depth.

All this because a photograph on Facebook caught my eye - thank you, Graeme, for letting me use your work as inspiration. Keep posting those gorgeous photos.
