I don't know about you, but the color of seafoam is so relaxing to me.  It brings to mind a  beautiful summer day on a sunny beach with waves foaming on the sand.  The smell of the fresh water and sound of waves and birds chirping....Ahhhh
​Enjoy the refreshing summer breeze in your home with the beautiful Sea Breeze Home Decor crochet pattern collection.

Cabled Blooms Blanket Mystery Crochet A Long MCAL

1/19/2019

0 Comments

 

Welcome to the MCAL for the Cabled Blooms Blanket!

Cabled Blooms Blanket MCAL
You can purchase the ad free PDF on Ravelry for a small fee HERE
I am so excited that you are joining me for a mystery crochet a long.  It's been a while since I've hosted a CAL and even longer since I've hosted a MCAL.  This time, I'm doing things a little different than I've tried before.  You see, typically when you do a CAL, the design has already been worked up in full with beautiful photos to show off at the end.  I want to crochet along with you.  While I have charted this design out and worked up a small swatch to verify the instructions work, I have not yet made a full blanket with this pattern.  You will seriously be working right with me and I'm excited for the fun to begin.
Check out the list of supplies below, grab your hook and yarn, pull up a seat and get comfy as we spend some time crocheting a beautiful new project together!
Cabled Blooms Blanket swatch
A few words of encouragement before we start.  The skill level for this crochet pattern is considered intermediate because of the use of post stitches and a few other stitches that a beginner may not be familiar with.  I will be adding photo & video tutorials to help with those stitches so don't be afraid to try it out!  It never hurts to try.
While I used Yarnspirations Caron Simply Soft Yarn for my pattern swatch, I will be using Premier Yarn's Everyday yarn for my full blanket.  It's all about the color for me and it's ok to use something different.  This pattern will work well using a variety of yarns.  If you enjoy working with thread, consider working 1 section wide of the instructions to create a stunning table runner.  If you enjoy working with baby yarn, go for it!  If Red Heart Super Saver is your go to, go right ahead!
The size of your finished project will vary from mine but that's ok.  I'll be giving you instructions to work as close to your desired size as you can.

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.
