This pattern has been fully updated since the original version and now includes full written instructions for both right + left handed crocheters as well as charts + supporting videos.

The pattern also includes templates for many Greek island names including: Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Corfu, Rhodes, Paros, Naxos, Syros, Tinos, Ios, Amorgos and finally - Greece!

The inspiration for this blanket stems from memories made while backpacking in Greece many years ago.

The main 5 pattern components are:
• Sailing boats
• Windmills
• Urns with Bougainvillea
• Village street scene
• Sunset scene by church
• 2 patterns can be used to divide the sections – one representing ancient Greek symbol/waves, the other represents narrow cobbled lanes.

This pattern uses the overlay mosaic technique. Suitable for beginners.

Each pattern is 168 stitches + 2 border stitches = 170 total.

Sample size is approx 110cm width 130cm length

All patterns are interchangable + each section can be ordered in any way you like. You can add the name of your favourite island eg SANTORINI, NAXOS

There are also notes + instructions on how to make a matching pillow/cushion cover.

Terminology is DC, sc + Bst. = Double crochet, Single crochet + Border stitch.

Yarn used : Approx 5 skeins of background color, 2-3 skeins of turquoise + 1-2 pink using 100g balls.
Each 100g = 307 yards (281 meters)

There are different options to hide the ends. A patterned border can be added to match the dividing section or just a plain border can be added.

I hope you enjoy making your own Greek Island Dream as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my design.
