Blossom - Circle - Square Afghan | Crochet Pattern | Published!

The Blossom-Circle-Square Afghan Crochet Pattern

has been published!

This blanket includes over 40 colors from my stash!

There are a lot of colors that this photo does not reflect,

but the beauty of so many colors is that you can arrange the blanket if you so desire,

 to show the colors you want for your mood or color theme.

This blanket was staged with the dark blue showing to coordinate with the sofa.

So gather up your stash and crochet some love to wrap around yourself...

... or a loved one.

This is one of our loved ones.

We refer to her as Little Bug; she's the youngest and the littlest.

You can find the pattern by clicking on the following

Apple Blossom Dreams Shops:

Etsy

Ravelry

Lovecrafts 

Any yarn can be used; however, the pictured afghan is crocheted with 

Scheepjes Colour Crafter and/or Stylecraft Special DK.

My blanket is very long (8 x 20 squares) as I wanted it to cover

the length of this built-in bed:

It looks bumpy because there is a down blanket underneath it.

At all bumpy costs, we must keep warm and cozy, right?

Here it is in progress without out the bumps:

   

Happy, happy, happy, pattern release and 

and happy, happy

Warmly,

Macaroon Blossom Afghan | Softer Baby Version | WIP

 

While the Blossom-Circle-Square pattern is out for testing and editing,

I'm starting up another Macaroon Blossom Blanket. 
This one will be a softer version for a stroller or bassinet blanket.

Original Pattern: Macaroon Blossom Afghan

Designer: Astri Elisabeth

Yarn: Scheepjes Stone Washed

The pattern can be found by clicking on any of the following shops:

Etsy

Ravelry

Lovecrafts 

Clicking on the above photo will take you directly to the Etsy listing, as well.

I'm changing the colors up a bit. 

Two shades of the same color family for the blossom and the circle e.g., Rose Quartz with Tourmaline. 
I'm using New Jade for the leaves which is a softer green than the original pattern

 and Pink Quartzite for the stamen and the leaf squares that will be joining the circles. 
I'll see how much yarn I have left as I'm also thinking the Pink Quartzite 

would be nice for a border to tie in the color of the joining squares.

Please note that Pink Quartzite and Moonstone are interchangeable IMHO.

The Kit for the original Blanket is available at Jimmy Beans Wool.

They also carry individual skeins so you can create your own color scheme! 

and here's to you, my faithful crochet friends!

Warmly,

Astri Elisabeth
