The shades of the Batik Flower Blanket have been specifically selected and inspired by the ancient Batik technique. Early examples of batik date back to over 2000 years ago, and the technique is particularly prominent in Java, Indonesia. Traditionally it involves wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. Originally Designed by Tash Bentley for Woman\'s Weekly, this colourful re-make is a really enjoyable crochet project. Each colour pack includes all the James C. Brett Top Value DK yarn required to make it, plus a copy of the Woman\'s Weekly Portuguese Tile Blanket pattern and the Batik Flower Blanket colour chart to guide you. The chart details which colours are used in place of those featured in the original design. These are the 100g balls of James C Brett Top Value DK yarn (29m/100% acrylic) that are included: 1 x Pink (8441) 1 x Beige (843) 1 x Yellow (8467) 1 x Green (8414) 1 x Purple (8423) 1 x Navy (8416) You will also require a 4mm (UK 8 - US G/6) crochet hook. The blanket will measure approximately 104 x 104cm/41 x 41in when complete. This is an intermediate pattern and would make a gorgeous addition to any home.
