The very first Scheepjes CAL was released 10 years ago. Scheepjes is celebrating this with no less than four new projects. What's extra special this time is that you can crochet or knit all these projects! So you can pick either a Crochet-A-Long (CAL) or a Knit-A-Long (KAL). The Dawn Chorus CKAL Experience is a tribute to the most beautiful songbirds.
After the beautiful Goldcrest Scarf by Martin Up North, it is Liz Barraclough's turn. She designed the Blue Tit Cushion for the second kit from the Dawn Chorus CKAL series, a wonderfully soft and stylish cushion inspired by the brightly coloured blue tit. The pattern is suitable for intermediate to advanced crocheters and knitters. You can crochet or knit the cushion cover in a solid blue colour. For the crocheted version, you then work with cross stitches and for the knitted version with duplicate stitches to add a coloured image, motif of the blue tit to the cushion cover. You make the Blue Tit cushion with Scheepjes Scrumptious (50% Recycled Polyester and 50% Acrylic) and Scheepjes Cahlista (100% Cotton). In addition to the yarn, the kit also contains several nice extras.
The Scheepjes CKAL Blue Tit Cushion kit contains the following materials:
- 3 x Scheepjes Scrumptious of 100 grams with a running length of 300 metres per ball
- 11 x Scheepjes Cahlista of 15 grams with a running length of 25.5 metres per ball
- 1 x Tissu de Marie fat quarter pack with 5 coloured pieces of fabric measuring 50 x 57cm

The free crochet and knitting pattern is available via the Scheepjes website in Dutch, English (UK & US) and German and via the official Scheepjes Facebook groups.
