The Island Stroll CAL 2022
SistersInStitch + Yarn and Colors
“Come away with me and take a stroll by the sea and listen to the song of the ocean on the
docks. Lets saunter in the sunlight and feel the summer slowly arrive, and take a walk in the deep woods of the island. Let’s exhale and take some time to simply be, to relax and create. Let’s travel in the mind to the Swedish archipelago and all the beauty it has to show.”
Part 4: The Island Lily Square
whoop whoop!
Week four has arrived and with it comes this square that is extra special and dear to me: the Island Lily Square. It was designed with my beloved grandmother in mind and represents all the loved ones we keep in our hearts: the ones who always have a hug too spare and lots of love to give. This square will therefore be the loving heart and center of our blankets and pillows.
With its stunning eight petal flower in the center and the luscious texture framing it: she’s a showstopper for sure.
A little note before we begin:
For this week we will be using the same pattern for both the blanket and pillow, the only difference is the size of the yarn you are using: Super Must-Have or Must-Have.
Below you will find the downloadable pattern files: one in color and one as a printer friendly version. As we only know how to speak English (and Swedish) here at SistersInStitch: the pattern are written in US-terms and the comprehensive stitch by stitch tutorials will be shown in that too.
In the Island Stroll CAL: Stitch Guide you will find techniques, abbreviation and terminology lists to help you out a long the way, and they are including UK and Swedish shortenings!
