Yarn I have used:

• Colour A: 2312 meters, 4 ply, black yarn from Bramblewood Yarns. (Plus, about 150 meters for the border) 620 grams

• Colour B: 2490 meters, 4 ply, ombre yarn cake from Bramblewood Yarns. Colourway jade/ opal/ light petrol/ petrol/ aubergine/ thistle/ hot pink/ fuchsia. 664 grams

The weight of yarn I used is fingering yarn (size 3). If you use different kind, please be advised your project will be different in size. I would highly recommend doing a little gauge test to see much yarn you will need for your project.

This blanket is made using overlay technique   – it’s always worked right side facing you and we’ll be cutting yarn after every row. Don’t worry about loose ends, they’ll be hidden in the border later on.

Hook size.

I have used 4 mm hook, however, please trust your style of crocheting and pick the hook, which will be right for you as we all crochet differently. For this type of yarn, you can use 2.5 mm- 4.5 mm all depends on how tight you crochet. I squeeze my stitches quite tightly. For the border I have used 3 mm hook.

Whichever hook size you’re using, make sure to go 0.5 mm in hook size for the border.

My finished blanket is measuring 130 x 185 cm.
