Wisteria Fischer
Isn’t it funny how a childhood memory can be suddenly jolted with a word or a song or a smell?
I often really struggle to come up with names for my patterns, so we play ‘name that pattern’ in the team. This one was no exception.
A few plays on Wisteria were being tossed around when I suddenly remembered jumping off a garden wall with my little brother to see if we could fly.
That wall was about 6-foot high, covered in ivy, and on its brick walls hung a carved wooden board that read ‘Wisteria Fischer.’
I was probably around 8, my brother around 5 and Wisteria Fischer was the house that we grew up in. We jumped off that wall many a time and when the wall got too small – or we got a little braver – we jumped off the garage roof. LOL, how we didn’t break a leg! Come to think of it, my brother did………..but that’s a story for a different day.
I hope that while you are making your Wisteria Fischer, you remember a little part of your childhood. It was fun to remember a little part of mine and fly like Superman again.
Wisteria Fischer is written to make a 115cm x 115cm blanket but the pattern is totally adaptable to create any size blanket.
It uses US terminology and is worked in rounds.
Skill level - Easy Peasy
Material list
- Any yarn of your choice
- Your hook size would be applicable to your yarn weight, I used a 3.5mm hook
- Needle for sewing in ends
In the prelude (beginning pages) of the pattern you will find detailed stitch tutorials, yarn quantities used and many many more bits of useful info!
You are more than welcome to work the blanket in any yarn of your choice. However, depending on the yarn and tension, you may have a size difference.
Throughout the written pattern there are detailed photo tutorials.
