This blanket was made by a good friend Pat who usually crochet borders my blankets. She took delight in making all of the coloured squares in different stitches. I felt she revelled in looking up lots of stitches and patterns that she had never tried before. A triumph worth celebrating!
Well done Pat, your endeavour has produced so many colourful, interesting squares in this blanket. Your borders on Karen’s blanket’s are always the icing on Karen’s well made cakes!
Good on ya', Pat!! A DELIGHTFUL collection of colour and texture, which one lucky little one is going to enjoy. :))
That's my sort of celebration - I love finding new patterns to try. Well done, Pat.
What a good idea and what a lovely blanket as a result.
What a joy it is to read about this blanket, Karen. So glad Pat enjoyed the process and hope she wants to continue. It really is a joyful learning experience for us crafters, with the added benefit of a warm blanket at the end!
At true celebrations for sure. I lesson on crochet stitches and how every color under the rainbow goes together.
Please thank Pat for all of us at KAS>
Late additions to this theme but my time has been very restricted lately.
Firstly some hats and a pair of handwarmers based around the CoM colour green.
The blanket is made with 5 balls of Bonus Buzz interspaced with some black aran stripes which firm the shape together well, then a knitted border and the final flourish is a crocheted border done by a very good friend.
I love this blanket, blocks of variegated + black stripes = a beautiful, bold blanket :))
The hats and hand warmers are a very welcome addition too!
This is a striking blanket, Karen!! LOVE the combination of variegated with the solid black stripes...really makes it pop!!....and all those hats???....knitting in your sleep again, I see. :))
