BLACKBERRY PICKING MOSAIC BLANKET STRIP PATTERN - CHART ONLY VERSION
BLACKBERRY PICKING - PART 8 - AUGUST SECTION OF THE BRITISH COUNTRY GARDEN CAL
Yarn required depends on how many repeats you have in your project, but to give you an approximate guide, one repeat of this design requires approx 25g each of 2 colours in either Aran or DK yarn.
This design is part of the British Country Garden CAL, a collaborative crochet along, hosted by Elimee Designs.
My design is number 8/August, 'Blackberry Picking', inspired by walks along the railway line as a child with my mum on her old fashioned black bicycle, with my folding seat on the back (which scared me to death riding on it!) and a wicker basket on the front. The railway tracks have since been removed and it's now part of the Tarka Trail cycle and walking track, but the memory is still strong, and the blackberry picking continues, with my own kids... though they're a bit old now to enjoy the thrill of collecting a basket-full, but will at a push 'help mum' if she promises a crumble in return!

If you haven't discovered The British Country Garden CAL yet, let me give you the lowdown...
It's a FREE year long mosaic crochet CAL hosted by Nichola from Elimee Designs and is a collaboration between 10 designers. We each designed a section (or in my case two!) that combines together over the year to create this fabulously pretty floral blanket!
The designs are released on the 1st day of the month so to access this CAL for free, you have to visit each designers blog on or after the day their design is released, where you'll find the chart you can work from to make that section of the blanket! It's a bit like a crochet scavenger hunt, and all the charts will be free on the designers blogs for as long as their blog exists, so it doesn't matter if you come to this late, or you're finding this months or years after the CAL has ended!
However if you can't wait, or prefer written instructions and more support making your mosaic blanket, then buying the Full E-Book might be the best option! You can find both the E-Book and the link to the CAL hub where you'll get all the free chart links HERE
