NautiKrall Crochet x Hue Loco Fractals 2026 CAL

Intro:
The Fractals Yarn Subscription is a set of 12 new surprise colour ways from Hue Loco Yarn. From it, I used the 12 colours to make up the hexagons in the new Astrid Hexie CAL blanket design.

Each month a surprise skein of yarn will show up in the mail and from it, you make the hexies for the blanket. At the end of the year, the blanket is joined up. Each month you make 15 hexies.
We wanted a palette that was pure, classy, cooler with pops of warms and that was also home decor friendly. I joined with a light neutral colour that really allows the colours to standout.

Each month, on the first day of the month, I’ll be sharing the colour way reveals on Instagram #fractalsCAL2026 --and in our Facebook Group (NautiKrall Crochet x Hue Loco Fractals 2026 CAL). All updates and sharing is best done in the Facebook group, where everyone can help, support and uplift each other throughout the year.

Not signing up to the yarn subscription? No problem! This CAL is inclusive for all. You can use whatever yarn your heart desires. I’ve listed a few fun alternatives in the Alternative Yarn Section of the Pattern (on Page 5) If you want to follow along with the colour ways of the written pattern—be sure to check the Facebook Group, Instagram or the new PDF that will be sent on the 1st of each month for the colour way reveals.
