Nature’s Walk CAL Ideas

Today’s post is a little bit different than all the others, because I decided to focus on 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 informations 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 filet technique, one of the most classic and easy crochet styles there are. 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. Suggested crochet hook for this project is 3.5mm, but if you use different yarn, be sure to choose the tools that will help you obtain correct gauge.

Romantic Color Palettes

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!

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.
