Explorer Blanket

With its soft puff stitches, rich textures and scalloped edging, this sizeable blanket is destined to become a cosy favourite as the days grow cooler. Whether draped over a chair or sofa, tucked into a crib, or displayed as a charming decorative accent in the bedroom, it brings warmth and style to any space.

Originally designed using Colour Crafter yarn for the Surftime Blanket in YARN Bookazine 7, this stunning crochet pattern has been reimagined for YARN Bookazine 18, offering a strikingly different aesthetic. Now crafted in warm, shades of eco-conscious Scheepjes Scrumptious yarn, the Explorer Blanket evokes a sense of nostalgia, making it a perfect addition to any welcoming home.
