Read more about the CAL here: https://www.willowcrochet.com/garden-medley-blanket-cal-introduction The Garden Medley Blanket is a bold, modern crochet blanket made up of 20 colorwork squares inspired by nature. Bees, butterflies, flowers, and leafy motifs come together in a warm, earthy color palette that feels playful while still calm and modern. This blanket is part of the wider Bloom & Buzz collection, which also includes coordinating cushion patterns. All of the designs share the same garden-inspired motifs and color palette, making it easy to create a cohesive handmade set for your home. The pattern is worked using intarsia crochet and single crochet stitches, creating clean, graphic designs with strong visual impact. Each square is worked individually, then joined together before finishing with a textured border. Working square by square makes the project feel manageable, while still resulting in a striking finished blanket. This pattern is best suited to intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with single crochet, color changes, and reading charts. **Materials** **Yarn used in sample:** Amigo XL, Hobbii (Worsted weight, 100% Acrylic; 109 yards / 100 meters per 50g skein) A – Ecru (02): 19 skeins B – Black (12): 3 skeins C – Curry (38): 5 skeins D – Rust (40): 5 skeins E – Hunter Green (28): 6 skeins **Yarn amounts if substituting:** Any worsted weight yarn in approximately the following quantities: A – 2,054 yards / 1,884 meters B – 276 yards / 250 meters C – 504 yards / 462 meters D – 521 yards / 478 meters E – 552 yards / 506 meters **Tools:** 5 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge) Scissors Yarn needle **Gauge:** 4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm) = 12 stitches x 15 rows in single crochet **Finished Size:** Approximately 52” / 132 cm wide by 64” / 164 cm long Finished measurements include the border.
