My mum, Christiane, made this lovely colourful blanket, and I’m looking forward to helping you make your own. I love watching the colours come together in this one. You finish a stripe, pick up the next colour, and suddenly you want to keep going for a few more rows! The shell stitches give it a lovely open texture, and the simple repeat makes it an enjoyable project to come back to whenever you have a little crochet time. If you’ve learnt the basic crochet stitches and would like to try a blanket, come and crochet along with me. Take your time, pause whenever you need to, and replay any bits you’d like to see again. There’s no rush. The blanket takes its name from the Heimolen, a traditional wooden windmill in Langdorp, Belgium. You may have spotted it in our blanket photographs and lookbook. For the original blanket, we use 15 balls of Stylecraft Special DK in our Heather Mill colour selection. You’ll also need a crochet hook, scissors, stitch markers and a yarn needle for sewing in your ends. A 4mm hook is suggested, but use the size that gives you a fabric you’re happy with. The finished blanket measures approximately 226 × 135cm, or 89 × 53 inches. Your size will depend on your yarn, hook, and tension. The written pattern uses US crochet terminology. If you like having the instructions beside you while you watch, the PDF is handy to keep on your tablet or print out. It includes the blanket and border instructions, colour tables and a matching cushion cover pattern that can also be used as a blanket pouch. You can follow our colour order or have fun making it your own. I’d love to hear which colours you’re planning to use, so let me know in the comments.
