Lucia Dunn (Lucia’s Fig Tree) – Rise and Shine Blanket (Stylecraft Yarn Pack)
Originally a Crochet Now CAL project back in 2018, Rise and Shine is a brilliantly bright and cheerful blanket that is sure to inspire. Lucia Dunn from Lucia’s Fig Tree has now released the instructions in a complete pattern, so we’ve put together an accompanying yarn pack so you can get started right away! https://luciasfigtree.com/cart/
“The Rise and Shine is a blanket that is bursting with colours and texture. The idea behind the blanket is to create a project that not only is fun to make but also demonstrates, by using different techniques in each of the squares, how versatile crochet is! It is the perfect project for a beginner that wants to learn new techniques and for the more experienced crocheter that wants to try something new.
“The aim is to create a project that will give you confidence with different techniques, the importance of texture, and an idea of how colours work!” – Lucia
