A community initiative to make the “world’s largest crochet blanket” and then exhibit it for a day at the top of Fóia is being developed in Monchique by local association Espiral de Vontades.

The goal is to set a new Guinness World Record by the end of 2020 and the association is calling on everyone to help.

The process involves knitting ‘rosetas’, crochet squares with a flower design in the centre. Each ‘roseta’ should be 40cm high and wide and have a yellow flower centre.
