Log Cabin Spirit

Thank you for your interest in my latest design Log Cabin Spirit! Inspired by the feel of woodlands and the spirit of a log cabin.

An overlay mosaic crochet pattern with full written instructions, charts with Xs and grid lines every 10/10 stitches. Plus a beautiful 19 row border to finish it off which has fully written instructions and charts.

My blanket, without the border, using DK yarn is 100cm square, with the border its 121cm square.

You will need 2 different colours of contrasting yarn. You can use any thickness yarn, but the size of the blanket and quantities of yarn will differ. A crochet hook appropriate for your yarn, I used a size 4.5 hook.

I used Sirdar Saltaire, for the main pattern I used 7 in Stag and 7 in Fawn, 910m each. The border took more yarn than I was expecting but I’m a loose crocheter. I used 5 extra balls of Stag, 650m, and 8 balls of Fern, 1040m.

A huge thank you to my amazing testers, Sue Sweet, Barbara Gluck, Terry Parmentier, and Wendy Emmen.
