The start of a new project is always exciting, and that is also true for In Bloom, a lovely designed by Johanna Lindahl from Mijo Crochet in collaboration with FavoritGarner. In this first part of the project we are making the central flower. In the first few rounds the flower is still a bit wonky, but as it grows it starts to lay flat.

Hey Esther,
i’d like to know how many yarn balls i will need for the whole blanket. I’m from Germany and don’t want to waste too much money on shipping by buying the yarnballs per patch each week.
Greetings :))

In Bloom is a cushion, not a blanket. The yarn amounts given in this post is for the whole cushion, so 10 balls of Catona in total.
