🐰 The Inspiration Behind the Blanket
I wanted this blanket to capture that lovely feeling of early spring — when the days get lighter, colour starts to creep back in, and everything feels a little more hopeful. Easter felt like the perfect theme, with playful motifs inspired by fluffy chicks, curious bunnies and decorated eggs among the stitches. 🥚🌼The result is a blanket that’s fun to make and a joy to use — ideal for draping over the sofa, layering on a bed, or bringing out year after year when spring rolls around.
🧶 Is This Crochet Along for Me?
Yes — absolutely! This CAL is suitable for confident beginners through to more experienced crocheters. We’ll start with approachable stitches and gradually build in interest with colour changes and textures, so you can enjoy learning without feeling overwhelmed. Consider it a gentle skill-building project, with a few Easter surprises along the way 🐣✨ Plus, having the video tutorials each week really holds your hand with new stitches.
