New Blanket Design with no name yet...

It took a little longer than I expected, but finally here it is! My new blanket design with a hexagonal shape. No name yet, I want it to be something special, so any ideas are welcome. 

This blanket is very simple, yet elegant, and even timeless I’d say. I have come up with a nice textured stitch pattern with a repetition of just a few rounds. Easy to remember and joyful to crochet. 

I am also happy with the choice of Scheepjes Metropolis yarn, one of my ever favorite. The blanket turned out to be light, warm with a fantastic drape. 

It took almost 700g (14 skeins) and the measurements are approx. 160 cm/63in with a 3.5 mm hook. Perfect lap blanket size for TV evenings, or the sunsets outside in the garden. The textured design reminds me a flower, with the rays growing and thinning gradually.  

You can follow the pattern on your own and repeat each section for more times for an even bigger blanket. It is finished with a small, delicate border. And I can imagine that this blanket will look gorgeous in every color. 

The sample was kindly made by Esther Schippers, and I am sending sincere thanks to her :) 

Next week, my family is taking a break. We will go for a short holiday to the mountains with a very limited internet connection. But after we come back home, the FREE pattern of this blanket will be released right away. 

And in a meanwhile you can start preparing with the yarn. You can find Metropolis yarn at your local Scheepjes shops and via online retailers: Wool Warehouse* (UK, international shipping), Caro’s Atelier* (NL, Europe), Taemombo* (US&Canada).
