Bringing This Beautiful Design to Life 🌸🩷
Hello everyone!
If you follow Apple Blossom Dreams on social media, you may have already seen the floral motif that Astri designed several years ago. It was never written up into a crochet pattern, but the moment she shared it with me, I knew it deserved to be brought to life.
I absolutely fell in love with the delicate open petals and knew it would make the most beautiful blanket. Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be recreating Astri's original design, writing the pattern and transforming it into a blanket that I hope you'll all love just as much as I do.
Choosing the Colourways
One of my favourite parts of any new design is choosing the colours, and for this blanket I've picked two completely different palettes using Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze DK.
🍂 Warm & Earthy
This first colourway has a cosy, autumnal feel with rich warm tones balanced by soft neutrals.
I've chosen:
I can already picture this version draped over the back of a sofa, bringing warmth and comfort to any room.
🌊 Calm & Coastal
For the second colourway, I wanted something completely different. This palette is fresh, calming and reminds me of the coast.
The colours are:
It's amazing how using exactly the same design with a different colour palette can completely change its personality.
Looking Ahead
There's still plenty of crocheting to do before I can reveal the finished blanket, but I honestly can't wait to bring Astri's beautiful design to life, one motif at a time. I'll be sharing lots of updates along the way, from the first motifs to the finished blanket and, eventually, the completed crochet pattern.
I genuinely think this is going to become a very special addition to the Apple Blossom Dreams collection, and I'm so excited to finally share this journey with you.
I'd love to know... which colourway would you choose? 🍂🌊 Let me know in the comments below!
Happy crocheting,
Helen 🩷
