JAM JAR HAPPINESS BLANKET INFORMATION
Do you ever get that rush of a warm feeling when you look at something that gave you immense joy and there it is still in all its glory in front of you and the memories start flooding back?
Like the little wild flowers children pick during a summer walk through the meadow and then when you came back home you realised they don’t quite fit into a vase.
The next morning when you stand at your sink looking out and you see the flowers sitting pretty in the jam jar they catch your eye and magically they make you smile, smile with the memory of the walk, smile with the memory of the prettiness of the blooms, and you feel that little bit of happiness… cheering you up for the rest of the day.
That is what I mean by the title of this CAL, the delicate blooms sitting in that jam jar, picked during a blissful moment, spreading happiness to all who see them …

I want this blanket to be a jam jar full of blooms, spreading colourful memories of summer throughout the dark winter months, making us smile and giving us a warm feeling of happiness every time the blanket’s colours catch our eye.
What will you need?
The yarn is a DK weight and I will be using my trusted 3.5 hook (but the yarn is prescribed for a 4 hook). So use the hook you usually use for DK.
It would be handy to have some stitch markers to help you with the counting and scissors as we are changing colours every row. There will be no ends to sew in so no needle is needed.
Dates
The Jam Jar Happiness Blanket project will start on 23 September 2022.
For 6 weeks there will be weekly videos explaining part of the pattern allowing you to make the blanket.
Every week there will be a list of colours published on my blog, 30 rows per week, 5 weeks long for 150 rows in total.
Then there will be the border week.
There will be two videos for the border.
