IMOGEN

Inspired by traditional Victorian Crochet designs, the Imogen Blanket echoes the design theme of my incredibly popular 2012 Crochet Club project. The completed piece measures approximately 1 metre square making it a perfect cot or pram blanket.

The project and is aimed at crocheters with a reasonable knowledge of crochet techniques and the pattern includes lots of images and tips to help you along the way.

The yarn originally used to make this project is now longer available, but you can find the paper pattern and the download versions by following links to Etsy and Ravelry in the images below.

We have now updated this design by making a version using DK weight yarn from the Yarnsmiths range. You can find kits for the project by following this link to Wool Warehouse.

​Using a DK weight yarn, means that the project comes up slightly larger and hook sizes differ. You can find a free yarn substitution document, which shows the yarn amounts and measurements for
the DK weight blanket, by following this link. Please note that
the original pattern does not include this information.
​
The Yarnsmiths version uses a cotton and acrylic mix yarn with a length of 145m to 50g. If using an alternative DK weight yarn to
those this it is essential that you check the length of it to match.
We chose a palette that is paler in colour than the original shades
​and it has a slightly hazy feel that echoes vintage crochet pieces.
Please see images for guidance.
