Seaside Winter Blanket CAL 2016
You might like to know............
I used the following Elle (Saprotex) colours while designing the blanket (from inner to outer circle on my "colour wheel")
169 Cherry Red (Family Knit DK) (100g)
046 Apricot (Pullskein) (100g)
148 Sunset (Charity) (100g)
222 Lemon White (Family Knit DK) (200g)
061 Soft Lime (Family Knit DK) (100g)
007 Jade (Family Knit DK)
239 Peacock (Family Knit DK)
025 Beige (Family Knit DK) (400g)
058 Saxe Blue (Family Knit DK)
A "colour wheel" will be provided with each tutorial so that you can match your colours should you wish to use the same colours as me.
A photo tutorial will be provided for each of the square patterns and the border. The final stitch count may vary from square to square. It is therefore advisable to use a "forgiving" joining method. I have once again used my VISIBLE JOIN as this provides a flat, even finish regardless of the final stitch count.
There is a "Print Friendly" button at the top of the right hand side bar - this enables you to save the document as a PDF file or to remove the images and print an ink-saving hard copy.
Where possible I will provide a link to online tutorials for any "special" stitches used throughout the project.
The squares may be inclined to pull a bit skew or pucker slightly due to the fact that I have used a fair amount of overlay / textured crochet. A bit of gentle tugging to straighten the square is mostly sufficient, but I recently purchased a blocking station to block the squares before joining. (For the South African crocheters - I bought the blocking station for R200 online from New Kayo Bazaar.)
The squares will each be named for a place along the KwaZulu Natal, South Coast in keeping with the Seaside Winter theme.
I hope that you will be joining me on Friday to crochet our first square.......... the "UMZUMBE"!!!!
