I thought I’d just take some time to explain a little bit about the PipsRainbow 2018 CAL. It is called the Year of the Stitches Blanket. And yep you’ve guessed it, it’s all about teaching you new crochet stitches. Ever looked at a crochet pattern in a book or magazine and had no idea what the stitch was or how to do it. Well hopefully this CAL will help!
So this CAL is now sadly at an end, but if you fancy having a spot of fun, then just follow each weeks pattern at your leisure. I have included a link to each of the weeks, so that you can easily view each week.
So basically over the weeks, I will be introduce you to a new stitch each week. 52 stitches in total!!! So each week you will add a few rows of a new stitch to your blanket. Ending on week 52 with 52 new stitches. I’m hoping by the end of the CAL, you will have a stunning blanket, with 52 new stitches that you can refer to as a guide. Guessing it’s like a reference blanket, which is pretty cool as you can use it to keep you warm as well!!
My husband and his cousin challenged me to create the blanket CAL with a different yarn/colour each week! That’s a pretty big challenge, but I have had fun collecting 52 different balls of yarn.
Anyways, I really hope you all enjoy this Blanket.
Please let me know if you need any help and share any of your wonderful creations on social media.
Happy hooking everyone!!
