Hello and welcome to Anna’s Stories-the next chapter of Anna’s Tales!

As you may know, my Anna’s Tales CAL was a huge success and the amount of positive feedback I got, encouraged me to create something bigger but similar to the original pattern.

At the end of the CAL, so many of you were asking if there’s a chance to create blocks (mainly using Part 1) from the pattern and join them together to make it larger. I told you it’s possible but I wanted to create the pattern myself with a beautifully textured border which fits the design, so after months and months of waiting…here it is!

The pattern is FREE ON MY BLOG HERE or if you click on visit pattern website above.

It is available to download (for a small fee) as a photo tutorial and it has a print friendly version too.
Also, there’s a separate PDF file for all of the abbreviations and special stitches used.
