Dawn Chorus Bullfinch Blanket CKAL by Scheepjes

Create a knitted or crocheted blanket using a Limited Edition Mega Whirl! Using this (almost) 3km-long yarn cake, create a beautifully draping blanket with a soft colourway inspired by the shades of this lovely little bird. Esther’s designs showcase the classic colour changes for which our Whirl yarn is known, incorporating repeated mitred square motifs in each of the crochet and knit techniques.

About the Bullfinch Blankets

This CKAL is suitable for confident beginner through to advanced crocheters or knitters. The CKAL will begin on 17 July 2024, approximately six weeks after the project is announced, to allow you time to purchase kits from your Scheepjes retailer.

Esther will be releasing blogposts and helpful tips throughout the four weeks of the CKAL, typically on Wednesdays at 12 noon CEST. The information provided by Esther will include videos, extra photos, handy tips and additional details to aid your making experience.
