Description: A colourful lacy Blanket with bold Sunflower Motifs.

I made mine with 80 Sunflower squares to make a large blanket.

Due to to the modular nature, this pattern can be adapted to different sizes - yarn requirements will vary.

I drew inspiration from Nature, Art (Van Gogh’s vivid colours and his famous picture of Sunflowers), Graphic Design (stylized Flowers) and also from countless crochet flowers that i had seen before. I came up with the Flower last summer but I knew that i wanted to develop it further to turn it into a blanket. Then came the long hot summer of 2018 with endless blue skies and so this blanket took shape!

You will need:

Yarn - I used Schachenmayr Catania in the following colours (27 balls) - Finished weight = 1115 g (Scheepjes Catona: Colour codes are identical - and yarn is a perfect equivalent)
