Scheepjes presents the official Scheepjes Crochet-A-Long. The Scheepjes Perfect Picnic CAL has been developed in collaboration with crochet designer Eleonora Tully of Coastal Crochet. One of Eleonora's beloved blanket designs makes its Scheepjes debut. Inspired by idyllic picnic locations, each colour palette brings the atmosphere and beauty of a special destination to life. With front and back relief stitches, playful bobbles, simple Tunisian crochet, and a join-as-you-go design, the blanket offers a fine balance between familiar and new techniques, with plenty of opportunities to build confidence as you discover colour, texture, and various crochet techniques. The CAL runs from October 21st to December 9th, 2026. Thanks to Eleonora's extensive video tutorials and the expert support of Scheepjes moderators in the official Facebook groups, participants can focus entirely on the joy of crafting, knowing that help is always within reach. The Colour Crafter CAL kit contains 14 balls of Scheepjes Colour Crafter (100 grams each) and a unique Scheepjes Perfect Picnic tote bag measuring 42 x 32cm. You will also need 4mm and 4.5mm Cochet hooks (or the hook size required to achieve the correct gauge). The finished blanket will measure approximately 135 x 105cm after blocking.
