Silkhair Summer Scarf
For this episode, Saskia is crocheting a dreamy summer scarf. Using the beautiful, high-quality Lana Grossa Silkhair yarn, she’s crocheting the scarf in a lovely checkered pattern. The contrast between the variegated balls and the solid-colored balls creates a playful effect. And do you think it’s missing a border? Of course not! Saskia finishes the scarf with a cute border made from Rico Essentials Cotton DK.

Alpaca Farm
Wool can come from sheep, but also from Alpacas. Today, Lotte is visiting an alpaca farm to see what kind of animals they are, how the wool feels, and what you can make with it. The hospitable Wim and Els from Alpacaboerderij de Willemshoeve tell her all about alpacas.

Crochet Blanket
This week, Petra and Saskia are getting started on the eighth square of the stitch blanket. The names of the knitting and crochet stitches match, and they’ve once again done a fantastic job of making the squares look alike. This time, it’s the basket weave stitch!
Material:
The blanket is made with DROPS Muskat cotton yarn. The colors of the squares are DROPS Muskat colors 40, 05, 29, 10, 19, 03, 20, 24, 09, 53, 60, and 02. The squares are joined together using color 18 (White).
