The Tale of the Dainty Dots Blanket #1 - The Making Of

Number one? Yes, that’s right, this is going to be a mini-series about my recently finished blanket. Starting here and now with the making of…

At the basis for this blanket were these big blue and grey cotton yarn cakes I got in Thailand last year. I knew right away I wanted to use them for a blanket. (At first I also used the powder pink - pictured above, but I decided to throw it out.)

Funnily enough, in the end I’ve only used a small part of it (the white yarn is cotton I bought here at home), so I've still got a HUGE basket filled to the brim with this lovely yarn (in other colours as well).

Next up: the Dainty Dots Blanket Reveal (#2) and the Dainty Dots Pattern (#3), where I will also give suggestions for an alternative yarn. I’m rather pleased with something I’ve worked out for the pattern, my personal Eureka-moment crochet-wise, so stay tuned. :-)

For now I'd like to thank you for your lovely visit. Wishing you a happy day.

    Een prachtige deken Haafner! Jij weet als geen ander kleuren te combineren. Ik moet nu de tuin wat minder wordt mijn haaknaald maar weer eens oppakken. Er ligt nog steeds een sprei die moet worden afgemaakt op zolder.....:-)

    Fijn weekend!

      Dank je wel, lieve Madelief!
      Ik zie er zeer naar uit om je prachtige haakwerken weer te kunnen bewonderen. (En volgend jaar hopelijk je tuin!)
      Een sprei klinkt veelbelovend trouwens...
      Fijne avond nog,
      xh
