In 2013 Janie Crow designed a project for her crochet club using Persian and Moroccan textiles and architecture as her inspiration. The resulting blanket was exclusive to crochet club members, so the pattern is no longer available. It is a theme Jane wanted to revisit though, as the colours and shapes work so well in crochet and she is constantly asked for a project that echoes the original design.

This blanket is simpler in construction than the original crochet club project and there are just four different motifs within the design;
​the main octagon piece, of which you need to make sixteen, is surrounded by variations on granny squares and triangles in shades
of blue and cream. The project is relatively simple to make and Jane says she really enjoyed designing it.

In 2017 Persian Tiles was recoloured by crochet designer Lucia Dunn. Lucia’s resulting project is called ‘Eastern Jewels’.
