Magic Decanter

This swirling galaxy of stars is a smaller blanket making it easier to finish.

Originally published in May 2021, Magic Decanter was also featured as a free Crochet-A-Long (CAL) in June 2023.

Interlocking & Mosaic

Magic Decanter, like all my designs, can be made using your choice of colorwork technique: interlocking crochet or overlay mosaic crochet.

Size

This blanket is larger than the designs in my baby blanket category but it is one of the smaller designs in the blanket category.

The chart is 181 x 181 for both colorwork techniques. Using worsted weight yarn (4 – medium) your blanket will be 45? / 115cm square.

Magic Decanter

Something is brewing! A star? A galaxy? Just the most amazing cup of coffee? ?

I think the right yarn choices will really make this pattern pop!

It is smaller than some of my other blankets, but not so small that it needs more squares added to it. The chart is 181 x 181 which makes the finished size about 45″ square.
