Flights of Fancy CAL
A colorful surprise awaits you with the new Flights of Fancy CAL, designed by Polly Plum of Every Trick on the Hook. This Crochet Along is sponsored by Stylecraft and is a tribute to daydreams made of yarn! Doesn’t that sound perfect? The pattern features a range of techniques, including picots, shells, half hexagons, and polka dots. The CAL for the Flights of Fancy blanket starts on Friday, September 15, and the remaining 9 parts will follow weekly. This means the final part will be released on Friday, October 17. The pattern will be available for purchase starting Friday, August 15, via Polly Plum’s Ravelry and Etsy accounts, and Part 1 will be released via email on September 15.
Good to know: The CAL is entirely in English; some knowledge of English (UK and US) crochet terms is helpful for this Crochet-a-long.
The blanket measures approximately 90 x 110 cm
