This blanket was inspired by a song from Need to Breathe. One of the lines in the song is “grow Your roses on my barren soul.”
It made me think of all things that God has done in my life, the roses, even when my soul wasn’t for Him. Without Him my soul would’ve stayed barren and not produced anything. It is only because of Him that I have experienced all these roses.
This crochet pattern comes with a journal so that you can write down the story of each of your roses. You can look back on them, share the stories with others and add new roses in the future.
The roses are made holding 2 strand of fingering weight yarn together and applied after assembly to the motifs that you desire.
Barren Soul Blanket is a blanket that can be made any size you want.
Any weight yarn will work. I used worsted weight, 2200 yards for my twin size throw. I used fingering weight yarn for the flowers.
Choose a hook that is appropriate for the weight of yarn you have chosen.
Gauge will vary based on yarn and hook choice. If you need help figuring out how many motifs for your desired size please contact me.
Techniques used in this pattern are: starting with a double magic ring, crocheting in the round, joining as you go and surface crochet. Check out my YouTube channel for tutorials.
You will make one motif and then the 2nd and all other motifs will be joined with the final round. You can see the list of all my tutorials HERE and check out my YouTube channel.
