Mine is a different colorway, it’s a free pattern by Janie Crow. She’s a most generous crafter, free pattern and loads of hours of YouTube tutorials on how to do it. Goodness I needed the tutorials! This is the biggest thing I’ve ever made. And I learned so much by doing this project.
There are a ton of mistakes, but crochet is so forgiving that you don’t really notice the mistakes. Although the flamingos are checking it carefully to see if it’ll pass muster. It’s a little frosty here in Ireland this morning.
It’s absolutely stunning!! And it’s soooooo much work. And as always, finished in record speed. I’m not sure how long it took you but I seem to remember it was just halfway done the other day? I’m sure the flamingos are as impressed as I am.
Also, can I come and visit you and sit in that corner every now and then? It’s the perfect spot for that blanket, it looks really cosy.
Goodness, this is epic! Beautiful work; I’m sure it will make the perfect accessory for cozy reading.
P.S. Your flock of flamingos kills me! There’s a running joke here that it’s the “national bird” of one of our suburbs, but I think you’ve got them beat.

What a wonderful project to tackle! The results are perfect for your cozy reading corner!
I love how it looks modern and yet vintage and well loved…the colors are fresh but the pattern is traditional!
Just love it! I guess the flamingos found no visible flaws, so you let them back in from the cold! ha
Oh, girl, this is fabulous - Fa-Bu-Lous! Did you make the patchwork slip cover on the chair as well? Everything looks so beautiful in that corner, I love it & I cannot wait to visit you & see it, & you in it, in person!
It’s the perfect spot for that blanket, it looks really cosy.
