If you have been struggling to keep up the pace with our Demelza blanket, you will be very happy to hear that this part consists of only 4 squares. Today we start with part 4 in which we are making the outer corner squares of the blanket. In the original pattern designed by Cathering Bligh it is referred to as “3D Flower Square”. The other parts we have done so far are the small corner squares, flower squares #1 and flower squares #2.
The Demelza blanket is designed by Catherine Bligh and is accompanied by a photo tutorial in English and Dutch. There is also an update available with UK terms. 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.

Esther bij toeval heb ik het patroon van de prachtige deken Demelza gevonden. Ik ben een beginnende haaksters en met alleen het patroon denk ik niet dat ik de deken kan maken. Jouw video’s heb ik er echt bij nodig. Op dit moment ben ik nog met andere projecten bezig die ik eerst
afmaak. Mijn vraag is hoe lang blijven jouw video’s beschikbaar en zijn ze er ook in het nederlands?
Hoi Petra
De video’s blijven beschikbaar, ik haal ze er nooit af.
Demelza heb ik alleen in het Engels, maar er zijn andere projecten dat ik ook in het Nederlands heb.
Hoi Esther,
bedankt voor je snelle reactie. Fijn dat de video’s blijven. Ik wil erg graag dit project doen dus dan maar even goed de engelse vertaling van de steken leren :).
