Following the huge success of the very first Yarnplaza Dream Blanket, the time has finally come: the Dream Blanket 2.0 is here! This year (2018), the Dream Blanket focuses on relief stitches, and the pattern is available for both knitted and crocheted versions. This 2.0 version offers a bit more of a challenge than the first Dream Blanket, but thanks to the clear instructional videos, it’s suitable for all skill levels. The best part?
Unlike our previous Crochet Along, this time you can not only crochet but also knit along. The blanket consists of 8 panels in different stitches, with a repeating border in between, and the fun part is that the knitted and crocheted stitches look alike! We made the Dream Blanket 2.0 with Yarn and Colors Happy, which was developed exclusively for this blanket. You can choose from 16 beautiful, trendy colors, and the yarn—a blend of wool, Polyamide, and Acrylic—is soft and strong. In short, it’s perfect for making home decor! In just a few weeks, you’ll be able to drift off into a dreamy slumber under your very own handmade Blanket.
