XL spring flowers
For questions, help or advice, feel free to join my Facebook group mhl crochet designs
The XL spring flowers blanket is similar to my original Spring flowers blanket, but not identical.
The squares are bigger, the flowers are bigger and the design is different.
The XL spring flowers consists of bigger and therefor fewer squares than the original, so if you hate joining squares, this might be the better option for you!
I have made 2 versions of this blanket: 1 using Scheepjes whirl and whirlettes, and 1 using Scheepjes color crafter. Both are done using the overlay mosaic crochet technique in the round. The technique is quite simple, and if you can do sc and dc, you can learn to do mosaic.
The pattern includes a chart and full written instructions including photos for the square.
You will also be able to download my full picture tutorial on how overlay mosaic is done in the round, including a sample pattern you can try out, before beginning the Spring flower squares.
You can use whatever yarn you like. Thicker or thinner yarn will decrease or increase the size of the finished squares, but the proportions will stay the same.
Below is a list of yarn used for my 2 examples.
Suggested yarn: Whirl and whirlette version - size approximately 105 cmx105 cm.
Color a: 2 x Scheepjes Whirlette, 100g/455m - “Ice”. You will use approximately 18 g per square.
Color b: 4 x Scheepjes Whirlette, 100g/455m - “Liquorice”. This is for all the squares, the joining and the border. If you are a tight crocheter, you might only need 3, but I would get 4 to be sure. You will use approximately 35 g per square.
Color c: 1 x Scheepjes Whirl, 1000m/215g - “Rosewater cocktail”. You will use approximately 22 g per square. If you want to use up the rest of the whirl, you can use it in the border.
Suggested yarn: Color crafter version - size approximately 160 cm x 105 cm.
You can use any Color Crafter you like for color c, but I have used one of the colorpacks with 6x50 g skeins, in the color way “Tulip Fields”.
Color a: 2 x Scheepjes Color Crafter, 100g/300m - “Barneweld”. You will use approximately 32 g per square.
Color b: 4 x Scheepjes Color Crafter, 100g/300m - “Ede”. This is for all the squares, the joining and the border. You will use approximately 57 g per square.
Color c: 1 x Scheepjes Color Crafter Color pack, 6x50g/150m - “Tulip Fields”. You will use approximately 40g per square.
