In the UK, wisteria season is one of the most breathtaking sights of the year. From late April to early June, the country transforms with cascades of delicate lilac, pale violet, and creamy white blooms adorning cottages, gardens, and historic buildings. It’s no wonder that this magical time of year inspires so many creative projects , especially for those welcoming a new baby during this season.

For a truly special crochet project, why not chose a colour palette inspired by wisteria’s natural beauty, using Yarnsmiths Merino DK. The shades I’ve selected are: Off White, Pale Lilac, Lilac, and Sugar Plum. Together, they create a soft, soothing, and elegant combination that’s perfect for a springtime baby blanket.

The gentle gradients of purple paired with the crispness of white mirror the natural blooms perfectly, offering a timeless and calming aesthetic. Whether you’re crocheting a treasured heirloom gift or adding to your own little one’s nursery, this palette captures the very essence of a spring baby’s arrival.
Happy crocheting …. and happy wisteria season!
Love & hugs
