Signature of Trees Blanket

Signature of Trees Blanket by Dragana Savkov Bajic

What is Being Made

The Signature of Trees Blanket is a crochet throw blanket designed by Dragana Savkov Bajic for Dada's place. This intermediate-level project creates a finished blanket measuring 102 x 72 cm (40.1" x 28.3") without tassels. The blanket is suitable for use as a decorative throw or functional bed covering.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate crochet techniques to create visual interest and texture:

• Chain stitch (ch) – Used as the foundation and for creating spaces throughout the pattern
• Single crochet (sc) – A basic stitch that creates a tight, dense fabric
• Double crochet (dc) – The primary stitch used in this blanket, providing medium drape and structure
• Front post treble crochet (FPtr) – An advanced stitch variation that works around the post of previous stitches, creating dimensional texture and the characteristic "tree-like" appearance referenced in the blanket's name
• Bobble stitch – Specifically a 5 treble (tr) bobble stitch that adds three-dimensional embellishment and visual depth to the design

The pattern uses yarn over (yo) techniques throughout, which are fundamental to all crochet construction. The design incorporates both right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) considerations, indicating a pattern with intentional front and back aesthetics.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Signature of Trees Blanket is worked with Alize Angora Gold yarn in color beige no. 506. This yarn is a 3-ply weight with the following specifications:

• Fiber content: 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool blend
• Yardage: 100 g per skein yields 550 meters (601 yards)
• Total yarn required: Approximately 330 grams for the blanket body, plus an additional 20 grams for tassels
• Skeins needed: 4 skeins of 100 g each
• Crochet hook size: 2.5 mm

Gauge and Difficulty Level

This project is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle more complex stitch combinations. The pattern provides a gauge reference of 22 stitches and 12 rows in double crochet measuring 10 x 10 cm (4" x 4") before blocking, worked with the recommended 2.5 mm crochet hook and specified yarn. The pattern notes that gauge is not crucial for this project, offering flexibility for crafters using substituted yarns or hooks.
