Dream Blanket 6.0, a mosaic masterpiece for everyone
If you’re subscribed to our Newsletter, you already know: a new Dream Blanket is on its way. And today is the day. We’re proud to present Dream Blanket 6.0—a crocheted and knitted throw, both featuring the mosaic technique. If you’re not yet familiar with this technique, this is your chance to learn it—with a fantastic throw as the result. As you’ve come to expect from Yarnplaza, we’re providing detailed video instructions and a clear pattern with a stitch count chart. This way, anyone who has mastered the basics of knitting or crocheting can join the CAL/KAL.
Dream Blanket 6.0 in Your Dream Interior
The Dream Blanket 6.0 is a mosaic masterpiece that’s sure to stand out in your dream interior. To ensure this blanket fits into any interior, we’ve put together no fewer than 10 different kits. For example, there’s a kit with soft pastel shades that perfectly complement a light, Scandinavian interior. The kit featuring the reddish-brown shades of chestnut and sunset adds warmth, while the kit with the blue shades of denim and navy brings a sense of calm. Of course, we also have a kit with basic shades—a safe bet that always works. Take your time browsing through the 10 kits and choose the colors that match your personal style.
Order your kit and get ready for the Dream Blanket 6.0 CAL/KAL
On January 11, 2022, we’ll kick off the Crochet-Along (CAL) and Knit-Along (KAL) for Dream Blanket 6.0. If you order the kit, you’ll receive an email every Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. for 10 weeks, containing a section of the pattern.

FAQs About the Dream Blanket 6.0 CAL/KAL
How big is the Dream Blanket 6.0?
The crocheted Dream Blanket 6.0 measures approximately 130 x 165 cm. Of course, this depends on your crochet style.
The knitted Dream Blanket 6.0 measures approximately 120 x 150 cm. Of course, this depends on your knitting style.
How do I make the Dream Blanket 6.0 bigger?
If you want to make the crocheted blanket wider, it’s helpful to use the bobble stitch as a starting point (rows 67 through 121). This is a pattern of 43 stitches plus 6 extra.
What yarn is used to make Dream Blanket 6.0?
Dream Blanket 6.0 is made with the new Yarn and Colors Amazing yarn. This yarn is made from recycled Acrylic, making it a sustainable choice for your blanket. The 100-gram balls contain 310 meters of yarn, offering excellent value for the price. The yarn is soft, supple, and a pleasure to work with. You can choose from a wide color palette of no fewer than 45 shades!
My blanket is lumpy and has pulls—what can I do?
Is your project pilling? If so, choose a needle that’s half a size or a full size smaller. Is your project shrinking? If so, choose a needle that’s half a size or a full size larger. You can easily fix minor irregularities by blocking your blanket properly. To do this, use handy blocking tools such as blocking mats, knit blockers, and a plant sprayer from the Yarnplaza selection.
Can I use a different type of yarn to make the Dream Blanket 6.0?
You can use a different type of yarn to make the blanket. In that case, you’ll need to pay close attention to the yarn’s thickness and length. The thickness of the yarn affects how many meters of yarn you’ll need and the final size of your blanket. To determine this, look at the stitch ratio—in this case, 22 stitches by 30 rows. Next, calculate the number of balls you’ll need based on the length of the ball you’ve chosen.
