Hi all
I hope you had a good weekend. Things have been quiet here, I took a little trip to our local IKEA and bought some lovely candle holders. Of course in order to display them I had to tidy up the mantelpiece and the hearth when I got home. Last night we lit the fire as well so we had a cozy night in.
Last week a new baby, Harry, was born into the family so I decided that I would crochet him a little blanket.
I went through my yarn pegs and chose some colours that I thought would compliment each other.
The colours I chose are all Stylecraft Special DK in cream, sherbert, turquoise and empire. The pattern that is inspiring my blanket is the triangles and stripes blanket I found on Ravelry.
I decided to just repeat the 1st 6 rows of the pattern. You can see that the blanket looks quite chunky, this is because I’m using the DK yarn doubled up to make a thicker yarn.
The blues are incredibly difficult to photograph the obtain the true colour (it doesn’t help that it’s photographed indoors).
So far I’ve done all 4 colour colours in their stripes.
The blanket is working up quickly however I can only really crochet in the evenings after work. I think another 6-8 stripes of colour will be enough to finish it. I am enjoying my 1st foray into filet crochet and think that perhaps in the future I’ll create some other designs of my own.
Speak soon.
So lovely.
Lovely colors and patterns. Well done!
Thanks, I do like the colours.
Very nice 🙂
Thanks
I made this blanket a couple years ago for my nephew. I really like your color combination!
