I named this blanket “Norwegian forest” because it reminds me of the pictures of beautiful and powerful Norwegian landscapes my friend sent me when she left to live in Norway. I was fascinated with that endless, icy and serene beauty… minimalistic but powerful!
The blanket measures approximately 86 x 86 cm (34″ x 34″) and it is consisted of 16 granny squares, (20 x 20 cm) joined with single crochet.
For this blanket I chose a yarn I have never worked with before. It’s “Una” from St. George, 115m/50g, 55% acrylic, 40% cotton and 5% metalized polyester. The yarn is breath taking, streaked with silver threads, and I’m very sorry I didn’t manage to show all that beauty in the pictures. The reason why these pictures don’t reflect true beauty of this yarn is because I use only natural light for shooting, and these winter days are so dark and gloomy… Anyway, it was a real pleasure to work with this soft, amazing yarn.
I used 4 mm crochet hook (USA – size G-6, UK – size 8). The pattern is written using US crochet terms.
Like all my patterns, this one is also very detailed. There are step-by-step instruction on how to make the square, as well as how to make the border, with more than 120 step-by-step photographs. I also made crochet charts for square and border, and there are written patterns for square and border, too. I hope that this pattern will be very easy to follow, because I wrote it having in mind that not so long ago I was an inexperienced crocheter (read: beginner) with absolutely no clue about crochet! I remember so well how I appreciated any detailed step-by-step tutorial which I was able to follow with my poor knowledge of crochet!
The pattern has 22 pages! Can you believe it?

Hi Aber,
Yes, I have a shop, just click on the button "shop" under the header.
Awh, that's so sweet of you… I'm now making the first square, just for the fun of it, as I currently don't have time to make the whole blanket. One day I will though! It's gorgeous! (BTW, you are not on instagram, are you?)
All the best, xh
I would love to make it for a baby. What do you think? Would this pattern work? A smaller version. Thanks
Yes, I think it would work.
