Leilani Afghan | Crochet Pattern | Tester Call

 Timing is not necessarily my forte; hence, it is only appropriate for a "Tester Call" to come out a few days before Christmas. 🤔😱

This may not be the best timing, but then again perhaps you're looking for an easy
 and relaxing project during the break? 
🙏❤️🙏

The Leilani Afghan is a chunky blanket made from two strands of dk weight yarn 

for a warm and cozy addition to winter. 

I used Scheepjes Colour Crafter and Stylecraft Special DK, but any yarn can be used. 

 If using worsted or chunky weight yarn, then only one strand is needed, 

but a variegated yarn would result in a similar effect. 😁

Two bits of good news:

1) A sample of 39 sts and 23 rows vs the 139 sts and 111 rows

 called out in the pattern would be sufficient. 

2) The deadline is January 10, 2023, so there would be plenty of time to make a sample

 and if you are a daily crocheter with a good show/series to watch,

 perhaps the entire blanket could be crocheted by then?

I'm looking for two makers and two technical editors.☺️

If you are interested, please send me an email at Astri.Bowlin@gmail.com.

Wishing you happy holidays and

Warmly,

Astri

A Blue Christmas | Crocheted Snowflake | Link to Free Pattern

 Loving me some crocheted snowflakes 

crocheted with Scheepjes Catona in Powder Blue, 
with a variegated yarn, I found on clearance! 

Now I'm working on a couple with the same variegated yarn but Catona in white. 

❄️❄️❄️

I'm excited to get home and block these as I have this idea for our Christmas tree this year.

These snowflakes are great as coasters, ornaments, or for candle placement. 🕯️

 

Note: These look a little wonky now but will look a lot different once they're blocked.

Stay tuned!

The pattern is by NotikaLand Crochet and Knitting and can be found on YouTube. It's called:

I wish you all a relaxing and fun time preparing for the holidays and/or winter.
