Get ready to stitch up some sweetness! This ingenious design by Laura Strutt uses slip stitches to create an afghan that looks almost 3D. Worked in cheerful yellow and soft gray, it grows into a honeycomb motif that’s simply the bee’s knees. This project is taken from Knitted Baby Blankets by Laura Strutt, published by CICO Books (£14.99). Photography by Holly Jolliffe © CICO Books.
