Crochet PDF pattern: Scheepjes CAL 2020, d'Histoire Naturelle blanket

NOTICE: THIS PATTERN IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A FREE CAL PATTERN ON THE SCHEEPJES WEBSITE IN SEPARATE PARTS. YOU ARE BUYING THE FULL PDF WITH ALL PARTS INTO ONE PDF.

***Free d'Histoire Naturelle Scheepjes 2020 CAL***
This CAL pattern was originally published as a free CAL into 7 separate parts without tutorial photos. The pattern is inspired by the book All the light we cannot see from Anthony Doerr.

***Does this mean the free pattern is gone?***
No! Absolutely not. All the free resources, blog posts, separate PDFs and tutorial videos will ALWAYS remain available. The difference is that you now also have the option to pay for a full PDF with all the tutorial photos (and more...). As there were a lot of you requesting this. And also because some of you wanted to thank me or support me as a designer, but couldn't as there was no paid option available. You can find all free resources from this page: https://aspoonfulofyarn.nl/scheepjes-cal-2020-dhistoire-naturelle-main-info-page/

***This is more than just a paid PDF***
What do I get when I pay for a PDF?
* A FULL PDF in US, UK and Dutch with all the parts, all tutorial photos and tips&tricks (as well as additional tips that weren't previously included)
* A link to the printer friendly option, if you want to work from paper
* A link to the FREE PDF version of the bonus pattern The Entomologist
* 10% of ALL proceeds will be donated to Conservation International, a non-profit which focuses on nature conservation. As taking care of our planet is important to me beyond words.
AND, if you're a VERY BIG fan of this pattern. I've got something special for you...

Because the PDF contains a link to a secret page with never before seen, behind-the-scenes material! What? Yes!
So what will I see there, Christina? Glad you asked! Among other things, you will see the colorways and yarns that didn't make it. I am sharing all the original files with you, holding nothing back. I also share the VERY FIRST design. As the design we all know and love, is different from its first iteration. And much more!

***Pattern & Difficulty***
This pattern contains more than 20 different stitches and techniques, but is written with the adventurous beginner in mind. It contains a full picture tutorial, as well as full tutorial videos (left- and right handed) by Esther Dijkstra you can crochet along to. And there are Dutch and English speaking Facebook groups for any questions you might have.
