Something was pulling me to make a Chunky Lacy look in a Blanket. And this Yarn attracted me to try.
When starting the creating process of a Crochet Pattern, you have to be open to change, which leads me to say that I started off doing a lot more chains than intended but instead of starting again, I began making the first row of the pattern and when I arrived at the width I desired, I removed the chains that I didn’t need. That’s the beauty of Crochet, knowing you can tweak it without undoing all your good work.
The Yarn I originally used was Heirloom Chimera, which is a 10ply Yarn that is 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool.
Then I found a lovely alternative called Fiddlesticks Cake Yarn, exactly the same colours, blend and ply as Chimera, so ‘Cake’ is what we now stock in the shop. It’s so yummy, as you can see!!
Let’s get into the UK Version of the Pattern now…..
