Description
Ziggy Stardust Blanket – Miss Harry, This little baby blanket was designed and crocheted by me to play with colour, test some of the multitude of yarns I’d like to stock in our little shop and use some of my leftovers. Each of the little coloured stripes use approx. 3 grams of yarn and I did repeat some colours. The name Ziggy Stardust was selected by my middle daughter Emily and I as I love David Bowie and there are several sparkly Stellina blend yarns in the sample. Yarns in the blanket include Malabrigo sock, Ruby and Roses Soft Rose base, Manos Fino, Bombed Yarns minis, Blackwattle Sweet pea, Life in the Long Grass and Pixie Yarns. I am currently working on another one in all blues and soft purples.
Material Requirements:
- Colour A (Cream) 4 x 50 gram balls of 4 ply yarn. We used the Fiddlesticks Peppin 4 in colour Cream (#402) which is a buttery soft machine washable wool
- Colour B – Multi colours – You need approx. 200 grams of random 4 ply scraps. Each stripe uses approx. 3 grams of yarn so this is perfect for leftovers, minis, advent calendar’s etc
- 3mm crochet hook

Crafty Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites.
