Waikiki Wildflower Blanket Pattern Anew

When I contemplate the beginnings of Felted Button, one of my fondest memories is the creation of my Waikiki Wildflower Blanket inspired by my trips to the beaches of Hawaii. The yarn that I used to make it was a brightly-colored superwash wool that has since been discontinued, so I decided an update was in order.

I recruited the help of a friend, Sabrina, who has a knack with both crochet and photography. You can see some of her beautiful crochet on Instagram at SabrinaStitches. She offered (or rather I coerced her) to remake the blanket with some bright and happy Scheepjes Cahlista* a delightfully soft and "easy-on-the hands" no fuzz, 100% cotton yarn. Wanna see?

Prism Blanket Make-a-Long MAL

I'm thrilled to be announcing something that's been in the works for quite some time now...

So what's a Scheepjes Make-A-Long (MAL), you may ask? It's a bit like having your own personal crochet club, one that meets at your convenience from the comfort of your own home and joins together with friends to crochet a project, share progress, ask questions and rejoice in your love for crochet and yarn! I'm tickled that for this MAL we will be making one of my designs--a colorful blanket with lots of texture, color and interest called the Prism Blanket.
