Dream Blanket numberrrr seven! After the success of the Dream Blanket 6.0, we obviously didn’t want to stop there, so we’ve added a new, gorgeous piece to the Dream Collection. Find out everything about the new Dream Blanket in this blog—a truly stunning piece that you can mix and match!
Dream Blanket 7.0, a personal twist on your Dream Blanket
The Dream Blanket is back—and even more special than ever before! With the Dream Blanket 7.0, cable techniques take center stage, and you’ll get to work on various chain stitches. With this Dream Blanket, you can once again choose to knit it or crochet it. So everyone can join in! Of course, we’ll provide detailed instructions and clear patterns again, so anyone who knows even a little bit about knitting or crocheting can “hook” along with the CAL/KAL.
For this Dream Blanket, we’re working with horizontal panels created using the cable technique. You’ll crochet or knit seven (or eight, for the crochet version) different panels, and at the end, you’ll join them together with a pretty border. Each panel has its own unique charm.
Dream Blanket 7.0 in Your Dream Interior
This blanket will look great anywhere in your home. That’s because it’s made from a single color—one you can choose yourself. Even though the Dream Blanket is made in a single color, it’s definitely not boring! The sections of the Blanket feature different stitches, creating a beautiful effect. Another first is that you can decide the order of the different sections entirely on your own! Make all the sections and see for yourself which order looks best and fits your interior.
