Fae Fleur Blanket – make-a-long

I have been hosting an annual make-a-long every year, except for the last one. It suddenly felt like the break was too long already, and I decided to design a new make-a-long project. And traditionally, it is the crochet blanket again! Please, welcome – the Fae Fleur Blanket! 

 About the Fae Fleur Blanket 

The Fae Fleur Blanket idea grew from a single flower motif. 

When Scheepjes introduced the new Flow series as an addition to their popular core Stone Washed line, I felt inspired to use it for a new design. Flow yarn features long, soft color changes that look fantastic when used in textured crochet with several layers, and when mixed with the solid-colored Stone Washed yarn, it creates incredible depth. 

The name Fae Fleur comes from the flower inspiration. Even when using the same Flow cake, with every new flower motif it adds different color nuances, making every flower unique. 

The Fae Fleur Blanket is constructed using octagons, squares, and triangle motifs, all framed by a wide, textured border. 

This pattern offers a wealth of interest in both stitch work and texture, ensuring you stay entertained throughout the entire creative process. 

And if you are curious about the size, the blanket turned out to be approx. 136 cm x 162 cm/ 53½ in x 63¾ in (after blocking). 

Where to get the pattern 

The pattern is available on Etsy HERE and Ravelry HERE. 

The pattern comes in English language with US crochet terms. It contains full row-by-row written instructions with stitch counts, step-by-step pictures and video tutorials. The pattern also includes crochet charts kindly created by Masako Kawahara. 

Materials and yarn amounts 

The Fae Fleur Blanket comes in 4 colorways, and of course you can create your own. 

The original version was the Midnight Fleur, where I used black and graphite Stone Washed colors together with 3 complementary Scheepjes Stone Washed Flows. 

Magically, one cake of the Stone Washed Flow yarn was enough for two octagon motifs, and a couple of small squares. This made the blanket’s math so elegant and easy. 

I decided to use two similar colors for the background, to create a visual depth. And colorful splashes of the Flow yarn made its magic. 

For the Midnight Fleur colorway you will need: 

• Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn: 852 Graphite x 11 balls, 803 Black Onyx x 9 balls 
• Scheepjes Stone Washed Flow yarn: 18 Mellowness x 8 balls, 05 Calm x 4 balls, 08 Twilight x 4 balls 

For this project, we collaborated with Laura Jackson (@taemombo), who created two of her own colorways for the blanket: Aurora Fleur and Fleur du Nord. 

 For the Aurora Fleur you will need:

• Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn: 831 Axinite x 11 balls, 804 Boulder Opal x 9 balls
• Scheepjes Stone Washed Flow yarn: 11 Mist x 8 balls, 05 Calm x 4 balls, 07 Bliss x 4 balls 

 For the Fleur du Nord you will need:

• Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn: 831 Axinite x 11 balls, 804 Boulder Opal x 5 balls, 822 Brown Agate x 5 balls
• Scheepjes Stone Washed Flow yarn: 11 Mist x 15 balls 

Additionally, Esther Schippers, who assisted with testing, designed the Garden Fleur colorway for her version. 

 For the Garden Fleur you will need:

• Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn: 806 Canada Jade x 11 balls, 848 Soft Epidote x 9 balls
• Scheepjes Stone Washed Flow yarn: 12 Serenique x 8 balls, 17 Yuletide x 4 balls, 07 Bliss x 4 balls 

If you wish to create your own Fae Fleur coloway, look for two solid background colors and add 2-3 Flow colors aiming for the best contrast. 

You will also need 3.5mm hook, however, you can switch to a bigger hook to add more drape to your blanket. Additionally, you will ned titch markers (or waste yarn). 

You can view all Stone Washed colors and order Scheepjes yarn through your local yarn shop, or via online retailers: Caro's Atelier (NL&Europe),  Amazon (affiliate links).

And if you are in Canada or US, you can also purchase a ready kit for Fae Fleur Blanket from Laura of Taemombo yarn shop. The pattern is also included in the kit, so you do not have to purchase it separately. 

How to join make-a-long 

I will host a Fae Fleur Blanket make-a-long in my Facebook group, and we will begin on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026. 

However, if you have access to yarn locally, you can start crocheting the blanket right after you purchase the pattern. There will be no weekly parts, and you will receive all instructions at once. 

You can find the pattern on Etsy HERE and Ravelry HERE. 

The idea of make-a-long is to connect makers from all over the world together, so that you can share your progress pictures and ask questions about the pattern. 

I will monitor the group daily and will help you if you need my support. 

See you there!
