Crochet-alongs are all the rage, and we can’t get enough of them either. Since we want to spread this “virus” to as many people as possible, we’re launching the one and only Doom Blanket CAL.
The Dream Blanket 1.0 is made from Yarn and Colors Happy, a soft yarn that’s perfect for home decor. This yarn is typically crocheted with 5–6 mm hooks and is composed of 50% Polyamide, 25% Wool, and 25% Acrylic. The Dream Blanket requires 20 Balls of Yarn and Colors Happy.
Tessa van Riet-Ernst, known for Woolytoons, designed the Dream Blanket and guides you through the crocheting process with step-by-step videos. Whether you’re just starting out or an advanced Haakster, the Dream Blanket CAL is a wonderful project for everyone to get lost in while crocheting.
