There is something rather special about Spring. Australia, around mid October, when the trees are almost collapsing from the weight of their blossom, the dragonflies appear.
I think they know Spring is just about as perfect as it is going to get. The flowers are all set to welcome them. Trees with blossom in a variety of colours, are a treat to see. From brilliant reds, to soft pinks and apricots. I love them all, but I do think the Jacaranda is my favourite.
I had the beauty of Spring and blossom in my mind when I put pen to paper and begin the initial idea for this design. I wanted it to be as soft and delicate as I could. with an almost vintage style to it.
The Bendigo Woollen Mill Luxury 4ply in Soft Blush was the perfect choice for this. Once I got into the rhythm of the pattern, the name for design simply popped into my head. It seemed right.
This pattern is comprised mainly with basic stitches. It does have a couple of special stitches of a more intermediate level. The filet crochet technique is used to bring this blanket to life.
It has a delicate edging top and bottom.
This is a stroller or crib sized blanket but can easily be sized up. You own calculations for this are required
