This is an instructional PDF written in both plain English, (not complicated crochet terms) AND the abbreviated crochet language includes clear instructions to make the following:

a. Donegal Blue 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!)
Crochet hook
Tapestry Needle

During a trip to Ireland this Autumn of 2022, I learned that both sides of my family (unbeknownst to all of us) were from Donegal Town, Ireland. Both my father’s side and my mother’s side had left Ireland in the 1800s to settle in the US. This was the blanket I was working on while revisiting roots I didn’t know I had. The blanket was inspired by the richness of the greens and blues in Ireland, the Wild Atlantic Way’s stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, frothy white foam and dark grey rocks coupled with the greenest grass I have ever seen.
