Hyacinth Crochet Blanket Pattern

written by

Hey, y’all! I’ve been working on a little lacy something behind the scenes, and before I knew it, I had a full blanket pattern ready for release. So funny how that happens sometimes! Well, if you follow my Instagram stories, you saw the sneak peek before I released the pattern, but in case you haven’t yet met Hyacinth, let me introduce you.

Hyacinth pattern – Ravelry / Etsy / LoveCrochet.com

Introduction

Hyacinth is a lacy hexagon pattern that’s perfect for any occasion. The bulky but feather light Scheepjes Namaste yarn creates huge, lush motifs as shown in the photographs, but a layout and yarn amounts to use this pattern with Catona are included below. Scroll down to see that lovely change in the texture and gauge. Both bulky weight yarns and fine yarns (and everything in between) will look great.

The design for Hyacinth came to me when I was on a plane coming home from England. I went there for Yarndale with the Scheepjes Bloggers group. It was the best time! Read the Yarndale blog post here to see all the fun pics. When it was all over, my head was buzzing with ideas and excitement, and I just had to design something on the long flight home. (Plus, I bought some hand-dyed yarn and just had to try it out!)

What came out of that testing session was something similar to this motif, but not quite! It was very large, and the yardage of the bulky weight yarn Namaste was not enough to create the entire motif. You have to remember, the motifs below are about 14in across! So I modified that design quite a bit, and Hyacinth was born.

One day I may return to that original airplane motif and release it as a freebie!

Hyacinth in Scheepjes Catona

I decided to see what Hyacinth would look like in Scheepjes Catona after several people asked me if this pattern is suited to the Catona Colour Pack (10g balls) – (affiliate). Well, it is not – unfortunately! Remind me, I need to design a lacy hexie specially for that color pack..

You can get two and a half Hyacinth motifs from one 50g ball of Catona – (affiliate). Not bad at all!

In Catona, the layout below will produce a blanket about 50x50in, and it would take 19 x 50g balls.

I’ve worked up a few motifs for you to see them joined in action! What a liking I have taken to these lacy hexies – they’re just large enough so you don’t have to make too many for a throw, and I don’t get bored with them.

Plus, there’s just something about crocheting up some pretty motifs from cotton yarn in the sunshine with the green grass and blue sky as your backdrop. Nothing like it!

As always, happy crafting to you!
