Flowers Don’t Tell But I Do Blanket!

Filet crochet worked in the round.

$9.50Au

Flowers are the smiles of the heart!

This is a real head turner and a larger style blanket! I had a few people ask me if this is squares joined. The answer is no! This blanket is worked as one piece in the round, centre out. The pattern uses basic stitches, but will require a level of concentration with placement.

The pictures shown above are photographed on a king sized bed.

I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply cotton in Fruit Tingle. This is a super soft, quality cotton and well worth using. This is an Australian yarn but they do ship internationally. Any 4 ply/fingering weight yarn will work for this.

Finished Measurements (if gauge is met):

202cm/79 inches x 202cm/79 inches.

Materials:

3.5mm hook. I prefer Clover Armour Hooks. (click here for supplier)

6x Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply/fingering weight cotton in the colour Fruit Tingle. (click here for supplier) 670m/732yd per ball. Approx. 3900m/4265yd total. Note yarn quantities will vary if gauge is not met.
