I made this drawing a while back, trying to depict an imaginary hug and its feeling. Also, I always like the colours in the back of my blankets when the A colour is black. In those, the front has lots of colours, but the back is mostly black. I wanted to bring that feeling to the front of the blanket in this one. I really like the way it looks!

This blanket is made 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 used Scheepjes Stone Washed, 801 Moonstone for the drawings, 803 Black Onyx for the background and some colours for the rest. A list of all colours used is included in the pattern, as well as how many grams of each, and added a “colouring page” for you to create your own colour scheme.

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
