Made with soft organic cotton, this soothing pattern is a joy to make. The rhythmic up and down pattern of the stitches feels calming to make, while the bands of colour provide the motivation to keep going. It drapes beautifully and the textural stitches create a stylish version of this classic style of crocheted blanket.

The blanket is designed so that the colour joins are crisp, with the first row of the new colour partly hidden behind the previous row. The main colour, Colour A, is the colour of the first and last bands and then alternates with the bands of other colours within the blanket.

This blanket is ideal for mastering crocheted increases and decreases and introduces crocheting through the back loop. The rows are broken down into repeats which makes this blanket easy to make. Instead of counting stitches for the entire row, we focus on doing 1 repeat at a time.

I’ve added in the option to straighten the edges by crocheting the triangles on the ends, and the yarn quantities include these extra triangles and the practice quantity.

There are 3 different sizes (from baby up to lounge) and there’s a colour combination that you’ll love.

made in Australia

I make all of the Homelea Lass kits by hand in the Homelea Lass studio. It’s located on a remote cattle property near Quilpie in south west Queensland, Australia. I use Australian made components whenever possible.

 

about the yarn

Organic Cotton by Laines du Nord is a premium cotton yarn made with organic cotton in Italy. It is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified by The Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification. Laines du Nord are renowned for creating quality yarns in an ethical and sustainable matter.

This yarn feels soft and creates a fluid and drapey fabric. Cotton is a cool and hard-wearing fibre.

Each skein is 100g (3.5oz) and is 340m (371yds) long. It’s sized as a 5ply / sport weight yarn, but personally it feels more like an 8ply / DK weight yarn to me.

This yarn is machine washable at 30 degrees.

Just a note: like most cotton yarns, Organic Cotton can split when you’re crocheting with it. I’ve selected the shape and size of the crochet hook to reduce this, and it only does this occasionally for me (I just fix it up as I do the stitch). This is a minor inconvenience for using an organic cotton yarn that creates a blanket that feels soft and drapes beautifully.
I know you’re going to love crocheting your Calm Chevron Blanket!

 

With love, Lynda.
