The lovely people over at Cygnet yarns dropped me a email, asking if I fancied having a little play with one of their new yarns.
Well of course I did – who wouldn’t!
The lazy crocheter in me was completely up for this one.
This is a super chunky yarn, so think 10-12mm hook.
Think
Quick and Easy Baby Blanket!
Think super quick make acutally.
One stroller/ pushchair sized blanket took the grand total of about 4 hours to make.
Now that is quick!
This yarn is super soft, super luxurious, and a delight to crochet with.
Designing
I had a little play with stitches, hook sizes to see what was going to work with this lovely yarn.
It wasn’t long before I had decided on a Herringbone Half treble (double – US)) Crochet.
No idea what I’m talking about?
It’s all to do with when and how you pull through the loops on your hook.
>>>Check out the Waves Free Blanket Pattern here with Chenille yarn
Normal HTr (HDC) YO, through the stitch, YO, pull through, YO pull through all 3 loops.
Herringbone HTr (Hdc) , YO, through the stitch, YO, pull through the stitch, and the first loop on the hook, YO pull through 2 loops.
So for Yarn, head over to Cygnet Website.
If you want to pin this for later:
I had a little bit of yarn left over, so I made a Lovey” to go with it too- you can get the free pattern from Cygnet too.
A sweet little mouse!
