This is an instructional PDF written in both plain English, (not complicated crochet terms) AND the abbreviated crochet language.

a. Apples and Tomatoes Blanket
b. a magic yarn ball
c. magic knot for the magic yarn ball

This is perfect for someone who knows how to (US terms) single crochet.
Beginner/Intermediate.

I have attempted to make the pattern and instructions as simple and organized as possible. I have had some absolutely amazing testers who have walked me through some changes to make it even more simple.

Materials Needed:

Yarn (as you can see - many, different colors!)

(AND - the yarn is now available as a bundle you can buy at www.woolwarehouse.co.uk)

Crochet hook

Tapestry Needle

Northern New Mexico’s August and September overwhelm one with the beauty of the colors. The colors are vibrant and incredibly nourishing after the winter and long and cold muddy Spring. When New Mexico comes to life and we have rains, the beauty is boundless. I feel as if I have to stop and absorb all the irresistible colors. But I don’t know how – this is the only way I feel I can capture the brightness and the cheer these flowers bring. And then the apples came, and then the tomatoes…. And those colors became a huge part of the blanket. Then the sun and Chamisa … I added enough sun to get us through the winter.
