Anna's Tales
This year, we’ve been through a lot and what would be better than a FREE CAL at the end of the year? We really need something nice, colorful and unique to end this year, right?
The story behind the name:
My daughter’s middle name is Anna and she always sits next to me watching cartoons and checking my work while I’m crocheting. That’s why I decided to name the pattern after her, because all of my ideas for the design came from the love I feel for her, she inspires me all the time.
The pattern is a beautifully textured, heirloom baby blanket, which is using a lot of different stitches.
CAL Parts:
Week 1: 27 December 2020, Part 1: Round 1-21
Week 2: 3 January 2021, Part 2: Round 22-32
Week 3: 10 January 2021, Part 3: Round 33-48
Week 4: 17 January 2021, Part 4: Round 49-57
Materials needed:
• 3.5 mm (E) size hook
• NOTE: If you crochet loosely I advise you to use a 3 mm (5/0) size hook
• 1 Scheepjes Whirl and a matching whirlette or approximately 1640 yards/1500 meters of fingering weight yarn (Hobbii Twisters, Twirls or YarnArt Flowers are a great alternative)
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Scissors
• Stitch markers (optional)
Note 1: If you crochet loosely, you might need to get another Whirlette or instead of using 2 Whirlettes, you can use 2 Whirls
Note 2: Blocking is essential to enhance the textured, lacy patternwork of your blanket
Difficulty:
Intermediate. Although, this is an intermediate/advanced pattern, advanced beginners can join in too as the pattern will have CLEAR and EASY TO UNDERSTAND instructions with some photo help.
Size:
The finished size is 87.5cm x 87.5 cm / 34.5″ x 34.5″ AFTER BLOCKING.
However, if you use different yarn weight (dk or aran), the finished size will be bigger.
Gauge:
5 half double crochet stitches and 3 rows = 1″ / 2.5cm
The finished size will also differ if you have a loose or tight tension.
Helpful tips:
Don’t get stressed about the time frame. It’s all about the joy of crocheting, so if it takes more time to complete each part it’s still okay! This is not a race. It’s a journey, our journey together to create something unique and beautiful with or creativity.
This is a written pattern only with no charts.
However, it will have some helpful photos for the tricky rounds.

Feel free to join my Facebook group where you can get some extra support from me and some other wonderful members of the team. You can join HERE:

PDF file:
The pattern is also available in PDF format in my Ravelry store for a small fee. I will upload the parts on the release dates (shown above) and once all parts released, I’m going to merge the parts in one file and upload that too.
Thank you so much for your time to read through this information! I can’t wait to start and see all your beautiful creations!
With Love,
Krisztina
