I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! I’m o excited to start this new CAL with you – I think it’s my favorite one so far. Remember, this is meant to be a stash busting CAL and you can find all the details for the yarn amounts and supplies and such in this details post. If you’re all squared away with your supplies, then let’s get started!
Week 1 – I’m using Stylecraft Special DK in Pomegranate from my stash. Yes, my stash isn’t just a box of leftovers (well, I do have bins of leftovers, too). My yarn “stash” is several Ikea cube shelves. π If you ever need to grow your own stash, using that link right will support me in a small but meaningful way – at no cost to you. In fact, if you want to copy this think into your bookmarks, you can use it every time you shop with Lovecrafts and support Mayhem & Majesty while you craft!
Lovely Lines CAL – Week 1
This pattern is written in Numerical Filet. To understand this filet pattern writing method (it’s easy – promise!) check out my “How To Read Numerical Guide” before starting!
Row 1: FDC 229
If you prefer a βChain Startβ –> Row 1: Ch 231, dc in 4th ch from hook and across. Ch3 at the beginning counts as your ch st and your first dc for a total of 229 sts across.
Row 2: 6 , ( 5 , )x36 then 6
Row 3: ( 5 , )x38 then 1
Row 4: 2 , ( 5 , )x37 then 4
Be sure to show off your CAL rows each week on IG using #LovelyLines2022FiletCAL so I can see how it’s going for you. You can also show off your CAL progress in the Mayhem Makers Facebook Group.
I’ll see you here next week with your next clue. You can sign up for blog post emails if you’d like to get an email when each new clue is released. If you’d like to work ahead of the weekly clues, or prefer to work off a graph, you can purchase the full Lovely Lines Blanket pattern (numerical pattern + graphs) as a PDF for easy printing. But this is by no means needed to participate in the CAL – all the clues will remain here on my blog, free forever.
Happy Hooking,
~Becca

Is there a starting chain formula to make the blanket slightly smaller in width? I’m a bit late, but excited to get started! π

One of the panels includes wording, so it’s a set size.

I was wondering how many colors the new CAL lovely lines
Becca
It’s designed and encouraged to be a stash-busting CAL, so you cans use as many colors as you like or have! There are 9 panels of different designs, and you could then use only 9 different colors.
