Sorbet

Revised on June 8, 2026

Sorbet is the latest pattern from Ana Morais Soares from One Skein of Love. I had the pleasure of testing this beautiful design during May 2022.
The original blanket was made with a colour-changing yarn, Hobbii Twister. It’s a Cotton / Acrylic blend in sport weight. The blanket features three different patterns, and the instructions include three different layouts.

I decided to use only single-coloured yarn. I wanted to use up some of my stash, though, so I used some of my DK yarn. A mix of Stylecraft Special DK and King Cole Baby Comfort DK.

Originally, my blanket was supposed to be 90 x 130 cm in size, just like Ana’s version. I must have miscalculated! To achieve that, I would have needed two more repeats across the width. My blanket is now only 80 cm wide, so I’ve shortened the length a little too.
For me, at any rate, it’s the perfect lap blanket. The colours go perfectly with my living room and will also go well with my – er, with my husband’s ‘Midnight Snowflakes’ (if they ever get finished).

I am happy!
