Christmas Tangle Blanket

The Christmas Tangle Blanket MAL features the clever interlocking crochet technique and is a fun festive intermediate-level project created especially for this Scheepjes MAL by designer Astrid Schandy. There are two colourways to choose from using the main featured yarn: Scheepjes Catona. In the first, the background is snowy white with rainbow fairy light motifs, and in the second the green background represents a Christmas tree with jewel-coloured lights.
