Notes

Testing this pattern.
I have a vision of a Delfts blue plate with this pattern, so instead of the blacklight and colours I will use white and instead of the black I will 3 shades of blue. I hope it works out this way.
I used a smaller hook than I normaly use with this yarn (4.5) to get a denser result.

colours Zeeman Royal jan/feb 2016:
3561 white
84 denim blue
722 dark blue
3563 light blue

Finished row 20.
Will start row 21 with a new shade of blue but I don’t know if I should; I have to try it out to see if it works out.

I am so pleased that the idea I had with the blues worked out as I imagined.
Lovely design with great visions from Frank O’Randle.
