Update, January 2025:
As you can read below, the pattern was originally published in 2022 by Simply Crochet Magazine as Cal (7 parts). Ana has now summarised the complete pattern. So it is now also available in her Ravelry shop.
Finally I can show you the project I worked on from the mid-December 2021 until mid-January 2022: Talavera!
Talavera is a design by my friend Ana Morais Soares from One Skein of Love. She was asked by the Simply Crochet Magazine to design a blanket for a Cal.
The Cal has just started and part 1 is published. For further information either have a look at issue 122 of the Simply Crochet Magazine, their Ravelry page or website.
It was quite a challenge to finish this beauty in more or less 4 weeks! But so worth the effort!
For her design Ana used Caron Simply Soft, an Aran weight. As you might know Aran is not my favorite yarn weight. So I went for Stylecraft Special DK.
I already showed my colour scheme a few days ago, which – again- was inspired by a mood board of Pipin Poppycrock.
I mainly followed Ana’s colour placement but – partly by accident and partly on purpose – I have made some colour changes. So here my notes:

*Hello Eleni, I just love your colorway of the blanket. I just bought the magazine Simply Crochet with part 2, I will wait to get all 7 parts or I might just start sooner, I need to see what yarn I have at home or if I need to order. Your Talavera Blanket is amazing.* *Greetings from Greece. * *Sofia*

Good day. I started the Talavera blanket in Simply chrochet 122 just to find that the whole pattern is not in there. Where can I find the rest of the pattern. Thanks

Hi,
Talavera was published by Simply Crochet Magazine as a Cal. The pattern was split into 7 parts. So you might have to get all 7 issues of the magazine. They should still be available via Ravelry.
I just contacted Ana, the designer of Talavera, and asked her if the pattern is available anywhere else in one part. When I have an answer I will post it here in the comments. I hope this is ok for you. If not, please contact me via the contact form then I can answer you directly.

Hi Betsie, Ana told me that she will upload the pattern to Ravelry. However, she still has to revise it a bit, so I can’t tell you exactly when it will be ready. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you’ll either have to wait or get the missing issues of Simply Crochet Magazine via Ravelry or their website. Sorry that I don‘t have any other news!
