Macaroon Blossom Afghan | Softer Baby Version | WIP

 
While the Blossom-Circle-Square pattern is out for testing and editing,
I'm starting up another Macaroon Blossom Blanket. 
This one will be a softer version for a stroller or bassinet blanket.

Original Pattern: Macaroon Blossom Afghan

See this post for the colors used in this version.

Find the original pattern in the original colors by clicking on any of the following 
Apple Blossom Dreams shops:


The pattern is also available at Wool Warehouse by clicking here.

A yarn pack for the original blanket is available at Wool Warehouse.
They also carry individual skeins so you can create your own color scheme! 

and here's to you, my lovely crochet friends!

I'm changing the colors up a bit. 

Two shades of the same color family for the blossom and the circle e.g., Rose Quartz with Tourmaline. 
I'm using New Jade for the leaves which is a softer green than the original pattern
 and Pink Quartzite for the stamen and the leaf squares that will be joining the circles. 
I'll see how much yarn I have left as I'm also thinking the Pink Quartzite 
would be nice for a border to tie in the color of the joining squares.

Please note that Pink Quartzite and Moonstone are interchangeable IMHO.

and here's to you, my faithful crochet friends!

Warmly,

Astri Elisabeth

  1. I absolutely love this softer version, Astri. They are my kind of colours. I've never tried Scheepjes stone-washed as yet!
