Flowers in the Snow - ready to go!

I have been busy crocheting the circles for my Flowers in the Snow blanket and I am thrilled that all 192 circles are now complete and ready to be added to the blanket.

I am sooooo excited...

This blanket is going to be so pretty and the Amy Butler/Rowan Belle Organic DK cotton looks and feels amazing :)

I have laid all the circles onto the floor to arrange the placement of them on the blanket which will ensure I don't end up will any unwelcome pools of colour. The blanket is going to be 12 squares by 16 squares, the perfect size for my craft room chair.

Then I picked all the circles up in order making a little pile for each row of the blanket.

And finally, the piles have been numbered to represent the rows of the blanket they will be crocheted onto. 

It's so exciting!  I can start tonight :)

I saw this on little cotton rabbitts blog too & fell in love with the colours. Sourced the yarn but can I ask how many balls you have used as want to order enough but as its on upper budget not too many. Thanks

Hi Candace,

I have probably used about 2 balls of each of the colours and I have bought 4 balls of the white although I will probably need to get some more of that one, not sure yet.

I have just been buying the wool a bit at a time to make it a little lighter on the budget because it is expensive.

If you want a cheaper version try Patons Smoothie DK yarn as they have a great range of colours that you could match up and it is nice wool (cheaper and 100g balls!).
