Snow and Ice CAL - free Christmas crochet along
By Teresa Conway 7 years ago

On Friday 13th October, we are launching our latest CAL colour pack and this time we are crocheting wintery blankets inspired by snow and ice! Join us and make your own beautiful blanket to keep you cosy during those chilly winter evenings. 

For this CAL you will need Sirdar Cotton DK (100% cotton).

2 x 100g (212m) balls of Sirdar Cotton DK (100% cotton) in each of Mill White (501), Vanilla (502), Light Taupe (504) and Grey Dawn (520). You will also need a 3mm hook. 

The Snow and Ice CAL's colour theme is inspired by all things wintery. White, cream, grey and light taupe come together nicely to give you a patchwork of cool pastel shades. Inspired by scenes of winter, we thought we would share some of the inspiration behind our latest CAL.

Waking up to cold and misty mornings doesn't have to be miserable!

The blanket is made up of granny squares, with a twist! As each week goes on, you will crochet four different types of granny square. Don’t worry if you’ve never crocheted granny squares before, clear instructions will be given at every stage.

We will start the CAL with Italian squares, a combination of different treble stitches, this creates a texture that looks very intricate. Followed by the puff stitch, this square has a lot of soft texture. Next up is the classic granny square! No blanket is complete without it! And lastly, the crossed cluster square. Worked as trebles and chains, this gives a unique look. Together these patterns create a beautiful patchwork blanket that we hope you will enjoy.

Each week a new stage is released, giving you time to complete each part at your own pace, before the next pattern becomes available.

We hope you are inspired to join us with this cool CAL! The colour pack will be launched on Friday 13 October (your lucky day!).
