Patterns, projects and techniques
This is one of the ‘happiest’ shawls I’ve ever seen! It’s a great scrap yarn project. Of course, what’s really informative here is the ‘assembly’ technique. Who’d thunk it could be so easy?? Check it out here. Scroll down for the ‘tutorial’. Some people just have a sense of design (not to mention color) that I lack. Some will think I’m easily impressed. Well, that may be. But, I’ll be making one of these. Would work equally well with a single color of yarn too – or even squares or other motifs.
If your crochet project needs plenty of colour, easy-care yarn and a sensible price, Brava is one of those dependable acrylic yarns worth keeping in mind. Even better, Brava is the Yarn of the Month and is currently 20% off throughout September, with no discount code required.
Brava is a soft, premium acrylic yarn designed for projects that will be used, washed and loved. That makes it particularly useful for crochet blankets, granny-square projects, amigurumi, children’s clothing, baby gifts and everyday accessories.
One of Brava’s biggest selling points is its generous colour range. Granny-square blankets and colourwork projects can quickly require a surprisingly large selection of shades, so having plenty of coordinating colours available makes planning your palette much easier.
It is also available in four different yarn weights. You can choose a lighter option for garments and accessories, a classic weight for blankets and toys or a heavier yarn when you want a quick and cosy project.
Because Brava is acrylic, finished items are easier to care for than projects made with more delicate fibres. This is especially helpful when crocheting baby blankets, toys, pet blankets or gifts for people who may not want to hand-wash their crochet.
I would use Brava for a colourful granny-square blanket, a washable baby afghan or a collection of amigurumi toys. It would also be a practical option for donation projects because it combines softness, durability and affordability.
The current 20% discount makes September a good time to experiment with a new colour palette or stock up for a larger crochet blanket. If you have a project sitting in your queue that needs multiple balls of yarn, this might be the little push you needed to finally start it.
Looks like Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Coat! Please let us see when you finish yours.
What a great idea. I would make mine with monotone colors, not so bright is my preference.
Thank you for sharing this site.
I would love a pattern for this, does anyone have some ideas?
Pretty wrap! I love patterns that use up all the scraps one doesn’t know what to do with. That is an excellent way to go: saving and satisfaction!
