🧺 The Perfect Picnic CAL – Tips & Tricks Are Here! 🧺

It's almost time to get started with the Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL, and today the Tips & Tricks! Was shared on the Scheepjes website!🎉

This handy guide is going to be your best friend throughout the CAL, so be sure to keep it close by as you work through each part! It's packed with useful information about the stitches and techniques you'll be using, helpful tips from designer Eleonora Tully, information about gauge, and links to the YouTube playlists to guide you along the way.

📏 Big Tip: Don't skip your gauge swatch! Before the CAL begins, take some time to make a gauge swatch to check your tension and determine which hook size works best for you. Everyone crochets a little differently, so this is an important step to help you get the best results with your blanket!

You can download the Tips & Tricks from the Scheepjes website using the link below. Remember, all CAL files will be available on their website this year rather than directly in the Facebook groups.

Happy reading, and get those hooks ready! The picnic starts next week! 🧺💕

🎂 Colour Crafter takes the Cake!
There’s a new addition to the Scheepjes Colour Crafter family! Each of the twelve new Colour Crafter Cakes combines six familiar shades that flow naturally from one colour to the next.

🏡 Home was at the heart of our colour choices. Each palette takes its cues from a different interior design theme, from Scandi Calm and Rustic Warmth to Botanical Style and Dopamine Décor. Every shade comes from the existing Colour Crafter range, so you can easily combine your cake with coordinating solid colours too.

Discover all 12 colourways via our website. Which one feels most at home with you?
