Scheepjes Festival of Lights CAL - Organicon

Scheepjes presents the official Scheepjes Autumn/Winter Crochet-A-Long: Festival of Lights. This classic CAL by designer Jessica Wifall is inspired by the most enchanting sights of light and colour, from bright hot air balloons and fireworks to the northern lights. The CAL runs from October 16 to December 4, 2024. In four weeks you will create a beautiful blanket that will add a colourful touch to your home interiors during the dark winter months. The blanket consists of crocheted motifs created with different crochet techniques. It is an inspiring project for adventurous beginners and more advanced crafters as well.

To participate in this CAL, Scheepjes invites each crafter to join the official Facebook groups, where support and expertise is always available in the form of experienced moderators and admins. Of course, the international Scheepjes Community is also available for help and encouragement. During the CAL, the designer will be available to help and exchange ideas with participants via our Facebook groups. Jessica will be writing blogposts and sharing helpful tips for each pattern piece.

The Organicon kit measures 35.5 x 27.5 x 12.5cm. The finished blanket will measure approximately 95 x 95cm, when blocked.

During the CAL, the Scheepjes community offers support, and designer Jessica will share blog posts and helpful tips for each part of the pattern.
