Have you spotted any in your area?

Yarn bombing – the trend of creating street art with knitted or crocheted yarn – is a crafting phenomenon that has brought joy and colour to many everyday items on our streets, such as post boxes, railings and bollards, in recent years.

This week, many patriotic designs have begun to pop up around the country to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

The intricately designed colourful works of art typically appear overnight with residents waking up to discover vibrant and fun designs. From miniatures of the Queen herself to red, white and blue motifs and even little knitted corgis made completely from yarn and wool, the designs will have you doing a double take on a street that you have no doubt walked down hundreds of times before.

And here are some of the best pieces of Platinum Jubilee yarn bombing that we’ve spotted so far…

In Hangleton, near Hove in East Sussex, you'll find this post box cover complete with knitted bunting and tiny replicas of the Queen's guards, a little corgi and the Queen herself.

This life size knitted design of the Queen complete with her signature handbag, sash, robe, crown and little corgi by her feet must have taken countless hours to complete.

We simply adore this suitably royal update to a post box in Market Place, Abingdon. The intricately designed crown even has knitted jewels and is the perfect shade of gilded gold.

This design in Saltburn by the Sea memorialises the Royal couple of the Queen and her beloved consort Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and so many of the years during her 70 year reign.

Bollards aren't exactly the most exciting feature in our towns and villages but these ones have been given a patriotic yarn bombing makeover. You'll find these on the streets of Holmes Chapel.

Made by a group of secret local knitters called the Saltburn Yarnbombers, you'll find the Queen's favourite breed of dogs down by the water in Saltburn by the Sea.

Complete with red, white and blue knitted rosettes and a saluting royal guard made completely from yarn, this gate at St Luke's Church in Holmes Chapel has been transformed thanks to the local The Holmes Chapel Community Yarn Bombers.

Covering a common bollard, this knitted design also mimics the look of stunning pearls and a metal crown, making the yarn bombing design even more fit for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

The Holmes Chapel Community Yarn Bombers have also spread their designs throughout their village and we really appreciate this super cute update to a traditional red Royal Mail pillar box.
