BOHEMIAN BLOOMS 

Picture
Picture
This blanket design was inspired by the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant of The Bloomsbury Group and in particular their home 'Charleston Farmhouse'
and the murals they painted at the nearby Berwick Village Church. 
I had wanted to design a project using Charleston as my inspiration for many years,
so I decided that this project should be a trade heirloom  piece. I have used a collection of high end Rowan Yarns, including Soft Yak and
Baby Merino Silk in DK weight yarns and have also chosen to use beads for an extra focal point.


The patterns for this project are available within a 96 page soft bound book 'Bohemian Blooms', which includes more detailed
information about my design inspiration and step-by-step images for each of the crochet motifs.


You can find the book by following this link.
ISBN: 978-0-9571659-1-5​
You can find errata for the patterns here.

Rowan Baby Merino Silk is no longer available in (A) Iceberg, (B) Cloud and (C) Straw. We suggest you use the following yarns in their place:
 
Rowan Alpaca Soft DK 70% Virgin Wool, 30% Alpaca, 125m (137yds) per 50g ball
 
(A) Naples Blue (217) x 3 balls
(B) Blue Haze (232) x 2 balls
 (C) Simply White (201) x 2 balls
 
Please note: These shades are not an exact match to the original design in terms of colour but are as close as we could find.
Alpaca Soft DK is 10m shorter per ball compared to Baby Merino Silk.

NEW! We have created a version of the blanket using yarns from the Stylecraft range. We have been able to almost exactly match the yarn shades
and the tension. You can find the yarn substitution document by following this link.

You can find kits for the new version in our store from Friday 27th October by following this link.
​Please note that kits do not include beads and that the pattern book needs to be ordered separately.

The blankets are called Bloomsbury Garden and Sussex Garden and they have both been made using yarns from
the Stylecraft range. Click on the images below to be taken to the free colour substitution documents.
