Demelza video tutorial – small corner squares

Demelza blanket consists of various elements and this week we are making the small corner squares.

The Demelza blanket is designed by Catherine Bligh and is accompanied by a photo tutorial in English and Dutch. The design is inspired by the character Demelza from Poldark, a series of novels written by Winston Graham in the 20th century and adapted for television by the BBC.

      1. I will be starting this Cal.I love your color choice. I hope i can still get these colors at Paradise Fibers. Do you have a list of how much yarn you use of each color for the complete afghan? So helpful…Thanks i really have enjoyed the Dance in Sea Cal..So much fun….on my 2nd on now..

  2. Hoi Esther,
    Jeetje, dit gaat weer een fantastische deken worden. Heerlijk haken met het Stonewash garen.
    Even een vraagje. Hoe groot zijn jou squares geworden? De mijne is 85×85 mm. Ik haak misschien iets te strak want ik vind het vierkantje niet lekker soepel.
    Verder weer enorm bedankt voor de duidelijke uitleg…net als alle andere haaksterren ben ik erg blij met je.
    Groetjes van Thea

      1. Hoi Esther, hier ben ik weer even. Bij mijn laatste vierkantje van de 16 was de 804 op. Zoals gezegd had ik van alle kleuren 1 bolletje gekocht. Is de 804 de hoofdkleur voor de hele deken? Ik ga maandag van allemaal nog een bolletje bestellen, kun je misschien vertellen van welke kleuren ik er zeker nog 2 moet bestellen? Hopelijk niet van allemaal want dan komt het ver boven mijn begroting uit.
        Groetjes van Thea
