Please be aware this is a pattern for advanced crocheters.
The blanket is made in overlay mosaic technique and can only be crocheted from the center out.
Some of the squares have 4 different sides, which requires extra attention. If you haven’t done any pattern from te center out, I would strongly suggest to check out tutorials for this technique before you start this project.
(a Photo tutorial can be found here)

THIS IS A CAL, where you will receive weekly pattern updates with new parts of the pattern from the 2nd of January 2025. The CAL runs for 10 weeks. At the end you will receive a PDF with the total pattern.

You will NOT receive the pattern as soon as you buy it. You will receive a PDF with all the information you will need to prepare for the CAL, the first part of the pattern will be updated on the 2nd of January 2025. (around 11.00 am Dutch time).

This pattern for a blanket with squares that connect to each other is made to crochet in overlay mosaic crochet technique and is done from the center out.

The pattern is available in Dutch and English (both included in the purchase).

Connexxion CAL starts on the 2nd of January 2025.

The total blanket is made with 35 squares. We will crochet 4 squares each week in this CAL, which will result in a nice size blanket of approximately 140 cm x 195 cm (in DK yarn and 4mm hook). The start information also has options for smaller versions that can be made with the different squares. The CAL is run by a schedule, but of course, you are free to follow youw own schedule and adjust according to the amount of time you want to crochet every week. This is NOT a competition!

You can use any yarn you like for this pattern. The design will remain the same, but the measurements of your final project will change. The yarn usage will also change. With thicker yarn/bigger hook, you’ll need more yarn. With tinner yarn/smaller hook, you’ll use less meters of yarn.

• It differs a bit per pattern, but this is an estimate. Make sure to also calculate some yarn to crochet everything together and add a final border arount the total blanket.

** Size and yarn usage depends on many factors. One of those is your tension (loose/tight). This can differ more than 20% per person. Are you aware you are a loose or tight crocheter? Then keep this in mind!
