This blanket pack is from the fabulous blogger – Dedri at Lookatwhatimade.net It includes the yarn required to make Dedri's Jeanette at Sunset Blanket, plus printed instructions and links to helpful tips and more on her blog.

Dedri's inspiration for the banket:

"Aunty Jeanette is a very dear friend of mine.  When I was sixteen, her son (my boyfriend at the time) and I went on a Prickly-Pear-Picking mission.  It was an insanely hot Karoo day, so on the way back (driving in his 1972 Merc with a bucket of prickly pears resting between my feet), I decided to turn down my window.  When we got back to his house, I realised that I was completely covered in prickly pear thorns…like head-to-toe covered!  The three of us spent the remainder of the afternoon tweezing them all out.

"When I was working on the design for this square, the colours and shape of my prototype reminded me of that sweltering laughter-filled day, so I decided to indulge in whimsy and call it Jeanette."

The Jeanette at Sunset Blanket Pack contains:

• Scheepjes Whirl (220g), a cotton-acrylic mix:

2 x Jumpin Jelly (759)

• Scheepjes Stone Washed (50g), a cotton-acrylic mix:
  

7 x Smokey Quartz (802)

• A printed pattern for the Jeanette at Sunset Blanket

.

You will also need a 3.00mm crochet hook (for squares and border) and a 3.50mm crochet hook (for joining).

The Jeanette at Sunset Blanket measures approximately 105x105cm when finished.

Please also note: Pack quantities are given for the project when worked to the tension stated in the pattern.  If a different hook is used, or your tension differs from the designer’s, additional yarn may be required.
