Tag: Talavera

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:

I am very happy with the result!
It will be a gift for my mother in law and I hope she will like it as much as I do!
