2024 VVCAL Blanket Full PDF Pattern Now Available – Plus Value Bundle!

written by

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Whether or not you have been following along with us during the 2024 VVCAL over the past weeks, you will be delighted to know that I have released the full pattern PDF.

Why do I release the full pattern halfway during the VVCAL? The VVCAL is 20 weeks, which is quite a long and slow-paced CAL. I know some folks really love this pacing and enjoy seeing the new patterns release every weekend, and making the few hexies each week.

However, I also know some crafters just want to finish the blanket and not have to wait 20 weeks to have a completed project. So that’s why at around Week 10, I release the full pattern PDF.

PDF Layout

You may be wondering how the 44-page PDF is structured. Let me walk you through that in case you have never purchased one of my VVCAL PDFs before.

1. Intro and Stitch Guide

There is a short intro and a 2-page stitch guide with abbreviations at the beginning. Along with the abbreviations for common stitches, there are descriptions of how to create stitches like puff, popcorn, cluster, and bobble, as well as decreases, and more.

The Stitch Guide leads into a 2-page FAQ section with lots of important tips and tricks for the CAL. The FAQ include color tips, tips for using stash yarn, helpful hints for following a CypressTextiles pattern, and much more.

2. Yarn Quantity, Layouts and Motif Trackers

The next 13 pages consist of layouts and motif trackers for each demo blanket. Every demo mentioned in this VVCAL is represented, so you can follow the layout and check off the motifs that you make as you go.

All color numbers of yarns are included in this as well so you will know the future colors of the motifs as we head into the second half of the VVCAL. Also included on the layout pages is the yarn and quantity info and affiliate links so that you can find the yarn.

3. Motif Patterns

For the 36 mix-and-match hexie motifs, I include a photo of the motif, as well as the chart and the written instruction. All of the motifs are included in the PDF over 19 pages – even the ones that are coming up in the CAL. There is also video support for the motifs, which you can find here in a playlist:

4. Joining Methods

I provide 3 Joining Methods, Single Crochet with my PLT Join, and Celtic Lace Mini and Celtic Lace Mini II for Hexagons. Mini and Mini II have just a slight difference, but the subtlety is definitely appreciated, depending on whether you want a more plain join, or a more flowery join.

5. Border

A wide lace border is included for this VVCAL and it turns out so cute and textured! Hope you enjoy it!

6. CypressTextiles Media Kit Page

The final page of all of my PDF patterns is a little collection of links to where to find my work online, as well as my social media and links to a few patterns that you may also enjoy.

The VVCAL PDF is always very popular each year. It does take some hefty work to put together, but it’s so worth it for you all to have a complete collection of the motifs, joins, and border, all in one place.

If you haven’t been following along, here is some info about the CAL sample versions, so you can see more about what’s in the PDF pattern.
