Jane Crowfoot (Janie Crow) – Lily Pond CAL – Life DK (Stylecraft Yarn Pack)
This blanket was inspired by the series of Lily Pond paintings by Claude Monet. I wanted to create a design that not only
gave the idea of lilies sat on a pond, but also of the water itself and so I used lots of stitch combinations to help
create the feeling of movement. These stitch combinations give crocheters the chance to learn lots of techniques.
Jane Crowfoot and Stylecraft have collaborated to design this beautiful crochet blanket in one of Stylecraft’s most popular yarns, Life DK. Her design is heavily influenced by ‘Botanicals’ which was one of the big fashion and interior trends for spring/summer 2015 and features rich colours in bold florals.
The project measures approximately 1m square and is perfect as a lap blanket. The crochet-along launched in April 2015 and the patterns are all available as a free download from the Stylecraft website.
The pack contains 14 balls of Stylecraft Life DK (100g), a wool-acrylic mix, in the following shades and quantities:
