Beautiful Noise MAL

Designed by Martin Up North from the Scheepjes Designer Collective 
The Beautiful Noise Make-A-Long is a welcoming community project centred around a Tunisian crochet wrap and blanket design, inspired by the  power of music to connect people across cultures and continents. Featuring a dynamic wave pattern with pronounced peaks and troughs, the design echoes the visual language of sound waves on a recording screen, using fibre to translate rhythm, energy, and emotion into tactile pattern and colour. 

Designed by passionate music lover, Martin Up North, Beautiful Noise continues the spirit of his much-loved Scheepjes MALs Get Connected and Landscapes, both celebrated for their strong sense of community and thoughtful construction.  This time, the shared theme is music: the songs that shape our memories, lift our moods, and soundtrack our lives. Named after the iconic Neil Diamond song, Beautiful Noise invites participants to join in, share the music that inspires them, and connect to a global community of makers around a shared creative theme.  Make some Beautiful Noise

This versatile pattern lends itself to a variety of Scheepjes yarns. The generously sized wrap is featured in four inspirational colourways made using yarns from the Stone Washed, Woolwise and Scrumptious collections, each bringing their own unique character and palette. The pattern is easily adapted for creating larger pieces, as demonstrated by the cosy blanket made with thicker Aran weight Stone Washed XL.  

Beautiful Noise is suitable for adventurous beginners who are ready to explore Tunisian crochet in a structured and well-supported way.  The pattern does not require a special Tunisian crochet hook, making it accessible to those curious to try the technique using standard tools.
