The Crochet Aqua Blossoms Hexi Blanket is the next stitch along with our friends at Joann. When I first filmed the tutorial 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 draping 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 Blanket. That stitch along is long over but the pattern and videos remain to be free.

Julia Miller says
Week 3 round six video and written pattern are not the same. In the written pattern it says to work 2 rows down into the 4th round but the video works into the slip stich. Which is correct?
Mikey says
Please follow the pattern. I'm sorry about that.
Holly Coy says
I became a journey level member, mainly for Aqua-blossoms early releases, and I am happy but couldn't find the early written printables. Am I searching in earnest? Thank you for such a robust channel.
Wendy Maruna says
We weren’t able to supply the written for Journey members.
We weren’t sure if the pattern would be available to binge early, and it is only available weekly. The final written instructions will be released this coming Monday. The written for weeks one, two , three are available now.
Carol says
Has anyone ran out if canal blue yarn if gollowing original pattern? I checked my gauge and it is ok?
