Product Description
Sirdar Ornamentals Blanket - Crochet Design
What is Being Made
The Sirdar Ornamentals Blanket is an intermediate-level crochet project that creates a square blanket measuring approximately 119 cm (47 inches) in both width and full length. This one-size design features decorative diamond motifs worked in the Bavarian Stitch technique, making it a versatile throw suitable for home décor or personal use.
Yarn and Materials
This blanket pattern is designed to be worked using Sirdar Jewelspun yarn in shade 852 Evening Jade, an aran weight yarn. The project requires 6 balls of yarn, with each ball weighing 200g. Jewelspun is a soft, light aran weight yarn that mimics the popular hand-spun look while remaining easy to care for and affordable. A 5.00mm crochet hook (UK size 6 / USA size H/8) is required to work this pattern.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The Sirdar Ornamentals Blanket employs the Bavarian Stitch as its primary construction technique, a classic method for creating dimensional, textured fabric. The pattern uses several fundamental crochet stitches to build the design:
- Double Treble (dtr) - a tall stitch that creates height and drape in the fabric
- Treble (tr) - a standard tall stitch used throughout the pattern
- Double Crochet (dc) - a shorter stitch providing structure and stability
- Chain (ch) - used to create spaces and transitions between stitch groups
The blanket is constructed using repeating diamond motifs, with each diamond measuring 5.5cm (2¼ inches) and containing 4 side groups and 16 chain-space intervals. The pattern instructions use UK crochet terminology throughout.
Pattern Structure and Design Features
This intermediate crochet design features organic, fluid shapes characteristic of the Midnight Garden collection by Sirdar. The blanket can be worked repeatedly in different shades of Jewelspun yarn to achieve stunning new effects, allowing crafters to create multiple versions with varied color combinations. The pattern is triple-checked by Sirdar to guarantee success when using the recommended Jewelspun yarn and specified tension.
Design No. 10724 is provided as a downloadable PDF pattern for personal, non-commercial use only.
