INDIGO DREAMS
|
|
My crochet along project Indigo Dreams was featured in Inside Crochet Magazine between October 2021 and February 2022.
I will be re-releasing this project as a download and printed pattern brochure in autumn 2022. You can find back copies of the magazine by following this link.
Created from a gorgeous palette of Stylecraft yarns, the Indigo Dreams blanket was inspired by a Kantha stitched bedspread I found on one of my visits to
India and by my love of traditional patchwork quilt designs and tessellations. The blanket is possibly one of my easiest designs to date, with many of the
pieces based on traditional Granny Square motifs. The project starts off with simple pieces and gets progressively harder. As with all my CAL projects,
the pattern containsdetailed written instructions and step-by-step images to guide you along the way.

Guide for yarn requirements:
Please note that in the list below the amount of yarn recommended to complete the blanket is based on a series of tests. An extra ball of yarn has been added to the list if the left-over amount of a shade is less than 10g of yarn once the project is complete. Yarn shades marked with an asterisk * are a little tight on usage so some crocheters may require another ball.
Please see notes on yarn usage and tension in the pattern.
