Bringing This Beautiful Design to Life 🌿🌸

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:

🤍 Limestone

🤎 Mudstone

🟤 Tiger's Eye

🤍 Dolomite

🧡 Orange Topaz

💜 Porphyry

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:

🤍 Limestone

🩶 Dolomite

🌿 Ledlamite

🩵 Olivine

💙 Chalcedony

🔵 Blue Slate

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 🩷

🌼Week 44 of 46 | This Week's Featured Pattern is the A Year in Flowers Blanket!🌼

 🌼 A Year in Flowers | Weekly Celebration 🌼

This week’s Weekly Celebration is a little different because we're celebrating not just a pattern, but an entire year of crochet memories 🌸✨

A Year in Flowers, created in collaboration with Emkatcrochet, transforms daily temperatures into beautiful floral motifs, creating a stunning blanket that tells the story of your year one flower at a time 🌿💛

 

Each flower records the temperatures for a single day, with colours chosen to represent the highs and lows. As the months pass, your blanket becomes a unique visual diary of changing seasons, weather patterns, and memories 🌷

One of the questions I get asked most often is: "Is it too late to start?"

The answer is always absolutely not! 🌸

You can begin in January, June, September, or even use the pattern to record a previous year. Some people crochet each flower daily, while others enjoy catching up weekly or monthly. There is no right or wrong way to create your blanket 💕

 

To make things even easier, there are lots of helpful resources available, including:

🌼 Free logbook downloads

🌼 Temperature tracking sheets

🌼 Video support and tutorials

🌼 UK and US colour suggestions

👉 Find the pattern HERE

Whether you're already stitching flowers every day or have been thinking about starting, this is your reminder that it's never too late to begin your own Year in Flowers journey 🌸🌿

Happy crocheting! 🌼
