Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL: Pick a spot and pack your basket Created in collaboration with crochet designer Eleonora Tully of Coastal Crochet , the Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL invites makers around the world to crochet together over eight inspiring weeks . Inspired by idyllic picnic destinations, each colourway captures the beauty and atmosphere of a different setting. Featuring front and back post stitches, playful bobbles, simple Tunisian crochet and join-as-you-go construction , the blanket offers an enjoyable balance of familiar and new, with plenty of opportunities to build confidence while exploring colour, texture and a variety of techniques. Cotton Create DK combines 50% Recycled Cotton with 50% Premium Cotton to create a soft, breathable yarn with a gentle matte finish and excellent stitch definition. For each Cotton Create DK version, which measures approx. 115 x 92cm (45 x 36in) blocked, participants will also require 3mm and 3.5mm crochet hooks , or the sizes required to achieve gauge.
