{"product_id":"birch-forest-blanket","title":"Birch Forest Blanket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Birch Forest Blanket is a revision of my original Birch Blanket.\u003cbr\u003eI originally designed my Birch Blanket pattern in 2021 using Stroll Tweed yarn from WeCrochet. This yarn has since discontinued almost all the colors that I used to create that blanket. In addition, I crocheted each color in individual blocks and the Birch trunks had to be manually color changed from black and white, making the trunks a bit tedious (even though it really was worth it in the end). I have looked and looked for possible replacements to replicate this blanket, but haven’t had any success. The next idea was to revise it to a worsted weight version. I felt that doing this would provide a lot more yarn options. Finally, after several years of waiting for the perfect yarn to show up, I came across Premier Yarns!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere are the revisions I made:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI am now using six background colors instead of five.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI am no longer crocheting individual squares of colors for the background and seaming them together. They are now crocheted in color block style panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe birch trunks no longer require you to change colors every few stitches to achieve the birch trunk markings. Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted Painterly yarn does all the color changing for you. While it may not be the traditional black and white markings of the tree, the colors still mark up the trunk much in the same way and you never have to switch colors. This makes crocheting the birch trunks super stress free!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe only seaming you now have to do involves slip stitching your panels together. Previously you had to whip stitch all the squares together and whip stitch those squares to the long birch trunks. Slip stitching goes MUCH faster!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYARN COLORS USED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 balls or 2.3oz\/65g (120yds\/110m) of the following colors –\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor A – Chinchilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor B – Caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor C – Mustard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor D – Rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor E – Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor F – Spruce As well as 6 balls of “Flannel”16.3oz\/462g (832 yards\/761m) for the Birch Trunks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePATTERN DISCOUNT CODES:\u003cbr\u003eSAVE10 - Purchase 3+ Patterns and get 10% off\u003cbr\u003eSAVE15 - Purchase 5+ Patterns and get 15% off\u003cbr\u003eSAVE20 - Purchase 8+ Patterns and get 20% off\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find me in the following places:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/while.they.dream\"\u003ewww.instagram.com\/while.they.dream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/whiletheydream\"\u003ewww.pinterest.com\/whiletheydream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/while.they.dream\"\u003ewww.facebook.com\/while.they.dream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a PDF pattern only; not a physical item.
