Midnight Garden Blanket Crochet Kit

Sink into the calm quietness of being in your Midnight Garden. It’s your luscious tranquillity. You are in your absolute fullness, and each moment is pure joy. Connect inwards with yourself and discover your inner joy.

The stylish ribbed texture of this blanket is created by double crochet (US single crochet) stitches that are worked through the back loop of the stitch below. The stitches on the edges of the blanket are worked through both loops to give the blanket structure and strength.

I make all of the Homelea Lass kits by hand in the Homelea Lass studio. It’s located on a remote cattle property near Quilpie in south west Queensland, Australia. I use Australian made components whenever possible.
