The original Arcadia was a retreat in the Peloponnese Mountains of ancient Greece.
It was considered a place of great beauty and pastoral repose.
A place of rustic innocence and simple, quiet pleasure.
A poetic shaped space associated with bountiful natural splendour and harmony.
A haven for wood nymphs and other beings to play on Earth.
The simplicity of the shapes and stitches within Arcadia reflect the innocence to be gained from quietly observing the beauty all around us.
Arcadia is a beautiful new blanket which can be made as a baby size or full size blanket.
For the baby size you will stop at the end of round 59.
Using Double knit yarn and a 4mm hook this will give you a finished size of approx. 37 inches/ 94 cm square.
You will need approx. 1500 meters/1650 yards for the Baby size.

This is the most beautiful pattern! I have crocheted it into 2 queen size blankets to give to my sisters for Christmas, and they absolutely loved them. One was done in pastels and the other done in deeper bold colors. I also crocheted a matching one with the bolder colors for my husband and myself. I am in love with this pattern! Thanks Helen for such amazingly beautiful patterns. Please never stop creating them, and making such delightful pieces of art.
