This blanket pattern by Sue Pinner reminds me of a merry-go-round and brings joy and fun to my mind when I look at it. The beautiful pattern has a lot of possibilities for combining your favorite colors. A huge selection of shapes and colors makes this blanket a feast for your eyes.
What Skill Level is Needed for the Carousel CAL?
This blanket crochet-along is ideal for those who want to level up their crochet game. The pattern way will take you step by step through every stage, but a good understanding of fundamental techniques is key. The project uses a variety of stitches and creates unique shapes that intermediate crocheters should tackle with ease.
Can I Use Different Yarn Weights for This Pattern?
The Carousel Blanket CAL pattern calls for DK weight yarn, with the recommended choices being Stylecraft Special DK or Stylecraft Batik DK. Because of the frequent color changes, it’s a great stash-busting project. However, to maintain a coherent look of your blanket, it’s better to stick with one weight of yarn.
How Long Does It Take to Complete the Carousel Blanket?
Originally, the Carousel Blanket CAL was released over three months, allowing crocheters to work on the pattern in stages. How long it’ll take to finish this blanket depends on your crochet speed and experience. Generally, dedicated crocheters can finish the project within a few weeks, whereas a casual crafter might end up taking double the time.
