It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Sunny Shells crocheted in Deluxe Stripes (pattern link here).
How clever is this? I love the way designer Ashley Jane McIntyre used the self-striping nature of Deluxe Stripes to create little accents between the shells, breaking up the fields of color with complementary tones.
Deluxe Stripes a great yarn for this project. The stripes change crisply, and the 75% wool/25% nylon content means this blankie is machine washable and will last a long time. Deluxe Stripes is also Oeko-Tex 100 Product Class 1 certified, for the safety of the ones you love!
Sunny Shells is worked flat, from the bottom up. After finishing the body, you’ll go back and apply that lovely border in joined, unturned rounds.
Tip: As shown, this project took almost every bit of seven skeins of Deluxe Stripes. You might want to get another skein, just as insurance.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, full of brightness and joy.
Happy crafting!
