Meet Arabeska, a fun lacy square that can be joined together while creating. The pattern is based on some Ottoman influences, and it is a relaxing and easy pattern to make. Perfectly for using scrap yarns - or a color pack of mini balls, to use up, as this square only needs a few grams of yarn.

Some general information about the pattern:

  • The pattern is made with Scheepjes Stonewashed and Riverwashed. I just used scraps of this brand I still had, you will need approx. 6-7 grams (17-20 meters) of yarn for a Color A in the square. This is the inner color. As Color B, I used regular off-white Stonewashed in the color range 801 Moonstone. I made the last Rounds of all squares with it, and the border. In total, I used 4 balls of 50 grams for this color. But, as told, any yarn will do!

  • the pattern with this yarn option is crocheted with a hook size of 4.0mm.

  • the size of the finished blanket will be 115 x 80 cm.

  • The squares have a join-as-you-go technique, which makes them easy to connect while crocheting the last Round of a square. I explained this in a tutorial - and chart.

  • the pattern holds written instructions - guided by photos, and a chart.

  • the pattern is available for free in English (US) and Dutch.

  • Stitch use in this pattern is pretty basic, making it perfect for beginning crafters.
