Crochet in My DNA MAL Pastel Colour Crafter

This collaboration between Scheepjes and design duo Hilly de Vries and Iris van Meer is a visually striking project, created for crocheters who consider their craft an integral part of their identity. Inspired by the iconic DNA helix, the design features bold, intertwining waves of colour that form a dynamic and eye-catching masterpiece—showcasing both skill and passion.

Using Hilly’s unique join-as-you-go corner-to-corner technique (no bobbins required!), this rewarding project made with a choice of four Scheepjes yarns evolves effortlessly, as vibrant hues twist and flow, bringing the MAL design to life. The finished piece offers versatility, ideal as a practical rug or a striking wall hanging—perfect for those who live and breathe crochet! This project is featured in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, and Softfun yarns, offering participants a variety of fibres and an extensive colour palette to suit their creative preferences.
