Scheepjes Festival Of Lights Metropolis Blanket Kit : CAL

NEW Crochet-A-Long for Autumn 2024!

An ode to global light festivals and natural spectacles around the world, the Festival of Lights CAL designed by Scheepjes Designer Collective member Jessica Wifall is Scheepjes’ official Autumn/Winter Crochet-A-Long for 2024, running over eight weeks.

As each motif is made, immerse yourself in vibrant hues inspired by the world’s most mesmerising light and colour displays - hot air balloons, Northern Lights, fireworks and light trails. Made using luxurious fibres - an Extra Fine Merino Wool blend, this dazzling project will add a luminous touch to your home during the depths of winter darkness. 

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.

You can join the official Scheepjes Facebook Groups to take part in creating a crocheted motif-based blanket which incorporates a number of stitch techniques. Supported by our highly skilled mods and admin, as well as fellow participants, this community-driven project is an inspiring make for adventurous beginners as well as more advanced crafters. 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.
