It all started playing with a very powerful magnifying glass… and my thumb hooked me. It was so fun to draw, but hat took forever was deciding colours, it is probably the one blanket which I drew in most colour combinations. And when Scheepjes was launching new shades of their Catona cotton line, the blues were so many, that I went for all of them!

This blanket is done in Interlocking crochet, and the pattern comes with instructions on the technique itself, plus photo tutorials on how to get started and how to make the colour changes.

I chose Scheepjes Catona and used 16 shades of blue plus white. The pattern includes a list of all the colours used, and how many grams of each. It is easy to follow my colour scheme or just make your own colours, I added a “colouring page” for you to play around with your colour preferences.

If you are new to the technique, you can find my tutorials with a free downloadable pattern to follow here: Astrid’s Interlocking crochet YouTube channel
