The Crochet Aqua Blossoms Hexi Blanket is the next stitch along with our friends at Joann. When I first filmed the tutorial back in late November 2023, the yarn was brand new and not even out yet. I've been able to play with it. It's called Caron Jumbo Twirl yarn. It's unique in the way it looks, too.
Marly Bird will be making a sweater. You can get more information on that one as well.

Introduction
The Vibe of the Blanket
I couldn't help but think of tea, sandwiches and nicer weather when I saw this blanket. When I went to Australia in 2023, there was a little tea shop around the corner from our hotel.
Most of the tables had baskets of yarn and knitting and crochet tools. Most of the tables had a beautiful drapping crochet afghan that you could use to keep yourself warm, if you needed it.
This little tea shop was called The Tea Cosy, located at 7 Atherden Street in Sydney Australia, just a couple small blocks from the Sydney Opera House.
Last spring in 2023, we had the Check Please Crochet Blnket. That stitch along is long over but the pattern and videos still remain to be free.

All the yarn has arrived and I can't wait to get started on the blanket! Beautiful pattern!

Good morning Mikey. This pattern is so elegant. I can't wait to get started. I just started filling my cart and wanted to let you know that the link to the Caron Jumbo Twirl is incomplete. It takes you to the Caron Jumbo, not the new Twirl version. I know it's a first world problem I was able to navigate around it, but I thought you'd want to have it corrected before the masses start filling up your inbox. Thank you for always sharing your creativity with us!
