MAGIC CIRCLES

I love looking at how shapes fit together and had wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together
and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or
octagonal, I have designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.

When making the small infill circles you are asked to make a magic loop to start.
You can find a technique download that explains how to do this by following this link. 
Instructions on how to add surface crochet can be found by following this link.
You can also find a YouTube video for joining by following this link.

The pattern for the blanket and the scarf include a clear layout plan and a chart is also included for reference when joining the small circles.

This pattern was originally written for a blanket, but when I saw the beautiful range of shades 
available in Eden Cottage Milburn DK range I knew I had to make a scarf version too!

You can purchase the blanket paper brochure pattern or yarn kit here or ​opt for a download version via Ravelry or Etsy

​You can purchase the scarf paper brochure pattern here or ​opt for a download version via Ravelry or Etsy

Due to changes in the range of shades available via Eden Cottage Yarns the original scarf colourway is no longer available,
however we do have kits available with a substituted shade called Dusk. 
You can find yarn kits for the scarf project by following this link.

this link to Eden Cottage Yarns stock yarn kits for 2 alternative colourways of the scarf. The kits include either Compost
or Black Tulip in place of the discontinued shade Autumn Fields. Follow this link for more information.
