Our dress-up doll Suus made her debut last season. In this episode, Annemarie explains how Suus came to be and what the concept behind the dress-up doll is. Every other week, Annemarie made a new outfit for Suus, resulting in a whole wardrobe by the end of the season. Annemarie is also making sure Suus looks her best for Easter. That’s why this week’s bonus pattern from Annemarie is Suus’s Easter outfit.

Crochet Blanket
This week, Saskia and Petra are starting on the second patch of the stitch blanket. To give the blanket a little volume, they’re making two 20 x 10 cm patches from each stitch, and it will eventually have a nice border around it.
Material:
The blanket is made with Drops Muskat cotton yarn. The exact number of balls isn’t clear yet, but we’ve already put together a nice selection of colors. The colors used in the blanket are DROPS Muskat colors 40, 05, 29, 10, 19, 03, 20, 24, 09, 53, 60, and 02.
Each stitch is used to make a 20 x 10 cm square.
