The “Waves” blanket – free pattern inside

So here is the pattern for the “Waves” blanket made in 17 shades of SCHEEPJES Cahlista. The initial is from @sunshineyalex and is inspired by a wall painting made by Schuyler Beecroft. There is a free version of the pattern here on the blog.

We decided that 100% of sales profit from this pattern will be donated to Sardinienhunde E.V. An organisation who works for street dog on the Italian island Sardinia.

And that is why I really would like you to go for the paid, ready-to-print, PDF version, available in US, UK and Dutch on RAVELRY HERE this time.

Even a little help can make a big difference.

A big, big “thank you” to Marianne Den Decker who translated the pattern to dutch.

Pattern Notes

• Read the whole pattern before you start.
• I crochet tight so you might check your gauge and might go up a hook size or get a bigger blanket which means you might need more yarn.
• Ch1 at beg of row does not count as st. First sc is always worked in same stitch as ch1.
• Pattern is worked on rs only (except row 2, 4, 26, 28, 51, 53 and the repeats of those rows).
• All scs in round four (last round of border) are crocheted through both loops.
• All dcs are worked in flo in the second row beneath (same color row). Except border.
• The pattern is adjustable in width and length. Starting chain is a multiple of 34 plus 5 plus 1 (turning stitch). The original pattern has 6 repeats in width and 12 repeats in length and start with a starting chain of 210 stitches.
