Anna's Stories

***Hello and welcome to Anna's Stories-the next chapter of Anna's Tales!*** As you may know, my **[Anna's Tales CAL][1]** was a huge success and the amount of positive feedback I got, encouraged me to create something bigger but similar to the original pattern. At the end of the CAL, so many of you were asking if there's a chance to create blocks (mainly using Part 1) from the pattern and join them together to make it larger. I told you it's possible but I wanted to create the pattern myself with a beautifully textured border which fits the design, so after months and months of waiting...here it is! The pattern is **FREE ON MY BLOG [HERE][2]** or if you click on visit pattern website above. It is available to download (for a small fee) as a photo tutorial and it has a print friendly version too. Also, there's a separate PDF file for all of the abbreviations and special stitches used. **THIS IS A WRITTEN PATTERN and a PHOTO TUTORIAL ONLY WITH NO CHART** **Difficulty:** ***Intermediate.*** Although, this is an intermediate/advanced pattern, advanced beginners can join in too as the pattern has CLEAR and EASY TO UNDERSTAND instructions with a full step-by step **PHOTO TUTORIAL** **Finished Size:** *The full blanket:* 47.5” x 65”/ 121 x 165 cm AFTER BLOCKING *Each Block:* 15” x 15”/ 38 x 38 cm AFTER BLOCKING **Materials needed:** • 3.5 mm (E) size hook • **NOTE: If you crochet loosely I advise you to use a 3 mm (5/0) size hook** • ***4 Scheepjes Whirls and 2 Whirlettes*** in the following shades and quantities: o Whirls: 1 x Sherbet Rainbow (768), 1 x Cotton Candyman (760), 1 x Jumpin Jelly (759), 1 x Popin Candy (762) o Whirlettes: 2 x Ice (860) • or approximately 5121 yards/ 4682.5 meters of fingering weight yarn • Yarn needle for weaving in ends • Scissors • Stitch markers (optional) • ***NOTE: Blocking is essential to enhance the lacy, textured patternwork of your blanket*** **Gauge:** 5 half double crochet stitches and 3 rows = 1″ / 2.5cm The finished size will also differ if you have a loose or tight tension. **US terms** used throughout. **Facebook group:** Feel free to join my Facebook group where you can get some extra support from me and some other wonderful members of the team.
