Do you know a child with a favourite storytime character? Crochet them a hooded blanket, then settle down to complete the entourage!

Do you have a little bookworm in your life? Or someone who loves to act out stories? Crochet them a hooded blanket inspired by their favourite characters. Choose from a wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, a unicorn, a prince or princess, lion and more.

• Each project can be made in two sizes: for toddlers (age 2-4) and for young children (age 5-7).
• Learn how to turn pockets into snuggly paws, add little ears to hoods and embellish with tails.
• Every blanket has matching fantasy-themed bunting.

Little listeners and their parents will be enchanted by these blankets. Choose and create your first blanket, then grab your child's favourite book and bring storytime to life.

Bedtime bookworms will love snuggling up and listening to their favourite story in a cosy hooded blanket. Bring storytime to life as they act out the characters – will they be a goodie or a baddie, Little Red Riding Hood or the wolf?

Lynne Rowe’s latest new book has ten fun, fairytale projects to crochet, including a deer, a dragon, a lion and a unicorn. Each blanket can be made in two sizes: for toddlers (age 2 to 4) and for young children (age 5 to 7).

Along with crochet techniques, there are suggestions for varying the yarn colour to create a different character (changing a polar bear into a brown bear, for example) and you can choose between a rounded or a pointed hood. Lynne has also designed a strip of matching bunting to accompany each project.

Every blanket tells a story, with pockets on the sides for snuggly paws and different tails. Perfect for unwinding for a bedtime story and animating the oral tradition of storytelling – little listeners, as well as their parents, will find themselves enchanted.
