For this project I’ve been using Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel, which is one of my faves. It’s a cotton acrylic blend which is soft, squishy, warm and has outstanding stitch definition. Oh, and it’s durable too!

Materials
Six balls each of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel* in colours 801,803, 807, 808, 810
Eight balls of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel* in colour 809
Two balls of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel * in colour 804
4mm hook
Measuring tape
Blocking wires or pins

Measurements
150 x 160cm (but will stretch a lot!)

Notes
Each colour block uses about 1.5 balls of yarn, so you will need to join. Do take care to make your joins strong and tight and keep ends to weave in. If your join isn’t strong enough and it comes unraveled, it will be a disaster to fix!

Although the stitches and abbreviations all sound complicated, once you start working on the blanket it’s all very straight forward and easy.
