The year flies by … – it‘s already October! Only a few more weeks until Halloween … But still time to make some decoration …
Ana from One Skein of Love just released a new pattern which is available on Ravelry (and of course all her other shops):
BOO!!!Licious.
It is a Halloween themed pattern and combines Overlay Mosaic with Tapestry crochet.
The pattern is written to make a blanket but it is also suitable for many other things, such as cushion covers, table runners, bags, etc.
I had the pleasure of testing (and translating) BOO!!!Licious. I created some wall hangings, similar to the ones I made with Wintry Forest.
I love the colours Ana used for her sample! The yarn is Durable Comfy, and the orange tone (Caramel) is just gorgeous. However, I wanted to showcase something different, with slightly more muted colors – foggy and spooky…
That’s why I decided to use very little orange and focused on different grey tones and a soft purple.
My Yarn
I used some yarn from my stash – a combination of Stylecraft Special DK and King Cole Baby Comfort DK – with a 4 mm hook.
- Stylecraft Special DK (100 g – 295 m / 322 yds)
- 1063, Graphite – a little bit over 2 balls
- 1807, Hint of Silver – 1 ball
- 1836, Vintage Peach – some left overs
- King Cole Baby Comfort DK (100 g – 310 m / 340 yds)
- 1731, Mulberry – 1 ball
My Panels
All of my panels are worked over 1 pattern repeat plus border stitches. Each one starts with a foundation row and ends with one final row of single crochet in the back loops. I followed the pattern layout of the BOO!!!Licious blanket, just splitting it into 3 parts. I have only omitted the last repetition of pattern 2 and 1 in panel 3. Otherwise, it would have become too long.
The panels are framed with a double border, just like explained in the pattern. Their finished width is about 29 cm / 11,5 inches.
Panel 1 – The Ghosts
It is worked over 79 rows in total and measures app. 48 cm / 19 inches, including the border.
Panel 2 – The Pumpkins
The panel has a total of 56 rows and measures about 41 cm / 16 inches.
Due to my different colour placement, I had to add an additional row of single crochet between patterns 1 and 4, respectively 4 and 1.
Panel 3 – The Spiders
Again, I had to add 2 rows of single crochet to make my colours match. This time they are a separation between patterns 1 and 6, respectively, 8 and 1.
The whole panel has 73 rows in total and measures app. 45 cm / 18 inches.
If you are interested in the details of my colour placement, I have listed them in a separate file for you to download.
And here they are, in my living room over the couch …
Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃 🎃
