20+ Nature’s Walk CAL Ideas [The Best Colorways and Inspiration]

Today’s post is a little bit different than all the others because I decided to focus on a specific project, not a stitch. I’ve seen so many stunning versions of Nature’s Walk CAL blankets, that it seemed appropriate to share them with you and give you a little bit of inspiration. I’ve had this project in mind for months now, and I think that after this research I’m ready to try it myself!

Free crochet pattern in both US and UK terms is available on Ravelry. In addition to this, you can find a lot of information on Sandra’s website Cherry Heart, for example in this post. Grab your crochet hook and let’s dive in!

Romantic and Classy

This romantic design will look lovely in your living room or bedroom and must be a true pleasure to make. Squares were created using the filet technique, one of the most classic and easy crochet styles there are. The finished blanket is 117 x 148 cm (46 x 58”).

Materials:

You can purchase Color Packs for this project in three different color styles chosen by the author. These packs consist of Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn, which is a combination of cotton and acrylic. The suggested crochet hook for this project is 3.5mm, but if you use a different yarn, be sure to choose the tools that will help you obtain the correct gauge.

“Getting Started with Crochet Charts” is a comprehensive, two-part tutorial on how to read charts and follow the pattern. Check out both videos by Sandra: Part 1 and Part 2.

Nature’s Walk Blanket Version by VSteph

These lacy squares remind me of colorful autumnal foliage – a little bit of green and brown, with specks of rusty red and gold. As you may see, the stone-washed yarn creates beautiful color changes within each element. This rustic look will fit especially vintage-inspired interiors, but consider adding it to a modern or minimalistic one as well.

Romantic Color Palettes

Nature’s Walk Blanket Version by stephb68

I’m a big fan of Steph’s lacy crochet bedspread because it’s a true work of art. Not only is it beautifully showcased on the king-sized bed but also features the whole set of intricate lacy motifs from Sandra’s original pattern. The colors remind me of the flowers enchanted in ice – their colors subdued and frosty. Isn’t it the perfect colorway for a wintry blanket?

Nature’s Walk Blanket Version by LaPichardo73

The balance of shapes and colors is everything when it comes to crochet square blankets. Each individual element has to have its own place, even if it looks random at first glance. In this case, the classic pink and green combination was enhanced by the addition of dark brown. It’s a surprising move, but very much needed – it breaks up the ‘sweetness’ of the pastel shades and makes the project more interesting.

Rose Cottage Blanket by clumsycraftlady

Subtle color changes of stonewashed yarn are one thing, but artisan yarn is a different story. As you can see in the pictures, squares in this version feature delicate ombre effects and interesting color spots. Crocheter behind Clumsy Craft Lady used natural beige yarn to join all of them together so that it has true vintage vibes. The squares are lovely, but just look at this scalloped edging!

Girly Nature’s Walk Blanket Version by knitnotes

Who said that you have to follow the pattern as it is? If you are a seasoned crocheter, or just like some squares more than the other, make your own version. The maker behind knitnotes chose one lacy square and made it in many different pastel colors and it works so nicely! You can do that easily because they are all the same size.

Nature’s Walk Blanket in Red & Off White by Jamiepilar

Isn’t it fun? This amazing version by Jamiepilar looks nothing like the romantic original, but it has its own vibe and flavor. Off-white and red is a classic Christmas-sy combo, however, one can argue that it will look playful all year long! I can see it in the kids’ rooms, or as a bedspread because it’s eye-catching and will definitely be a showpiece.
