BOHEMIAN BLOOMS BLANKET

​​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 used a collection of high end Rowan Yarns, including Soft Yak and Baby Merino Silk in DK weight yarns and also chose 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 at the bottom of this page or by following this link.

YARN NOTES
Rowan Baby Merino Silk is no longer available in (A) Iceberg, (B) Cloud and (C) Straw. We suggest you use the yarns below in their place. 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.
