Modern crochet patterns and techniques
Kamala Blanket was inspired by a single square designed several years ago. I have made a few pillowcases using this pattern, but the textured flower design was too beautiful not to turn it into a blanket. The flower with fragile petals reminded me of a Kamala flower, and this is where the blanket’s name comes from.
As for the previous CAL’s we have collaborated with Laura Jackson (aka @taemombo), who created her own colorway for the blanket and made one of the samples. And Esther Schippers, who helped with testing, thought of a Blossom colorway for her blanket.
Being a simple construction of squares and border, the Kamala Blanket offers lots of interest regarding stitching and texture. And no doubt you will not be bored making it.
The pattern comes in English language with US crochet terms.
