Scheepjes Perfect Picnic Crochet Along 2026 in Cotton Create DK

Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL: Pick a spot and pack your basket

Created in collaboration with crochet designer Eleonora Tully of Coastal Crochet, the Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL invites makers around the world to crochet together over eight inspiring weeks.

Inspired by idyllic picnic destinations, each colourway captures the beauty and atmosphere of a different setting. Featuring front and back post stitches, playful bobbles, simple Tunisian crochet and join-as-you-go construction, the blanket offers an enjoyable balance of familiar and new, with plenty of opportunities to build confidence while exploring colour, texture and a variety of techniques.

Cotton Create DK combines 50% Recycled Cotton with 50% Premium Cotton to create a soft, breathable yarn with a gentle matte finish and excellent stitch definition. For each Cotton Create DK version, which measures approx. 115 x 92cm (45 x 36in) blocked, participants will also require 3mm and 3.5mm crochet hooks, or the sizes required to achieve gauge.
