PART 3
The Big Reveal
It's time to put the pieces together...
Find the pattern in issue 75 of Inside Crochet magazine (part 1 featured in issue 73, part 2 in issue 74).
Annelies Baes’ stunning patchwork blanket comes together this month as we show you how to attach the assorted blocks and finish them neatly. The positioning of the motifs creates a striking pattern, while the thick edging frames the geometric arrangement of shapes and colours to produce a final blanket that has a nod to a homely heirloom quilt, but with a totally contemporary feel. This throw has a classic, stylish appeal and thanks to the quilt-like appearance, it also has a comforting familiarity meaning it is perfect to use in many different ways, from an adorable baby blanket to an up-to-date bedspread, or even a comforting throw to cosy under on the sofa.
