A Crocheted Blanket/Throw for my Great Niece

 Today, I am sharing another crocheted blanket that I made earlier this
year for one of my great nieces.

She’s 5 years old and asked for a pink/mermaid coloured one.

Her Mum sent me a few ideas she’d found online, and this is
what I made. I'm pleased to say that she loved it.

I started by chaining 140 stitches using a 4.5mm crochet hook, and used

the half treble crochet stitch, changing colours every four rows until I 

reached the desired length.

I purchased the yarn online from My Yarnery

I used Stylecraft Special DK 100g in the following colours:-

1 each of Candyfloss, Wisteria, Clematis, Spring Green, Apricot, 

Lemon and Cloud Blue

A Crocheted Blanket/Throw for a Friend

  Sharing with you today another crocheted blanket I made before Christmas for
my friend ho I have known since we were 5 years old!

I chose the Crumpled Griddle stitch for this blanket, which I found HERE
on Daisy Farm Crafts blog and I followed the tutorial on their YouTube channel HERE

I would really recommend you taking a look at both of the above, as there
are lots of tutorials and lovely patterns to follow.

Although the instructions are in US terms, it is easy 
to convert to UK stitches.

I started by chaining 160 stitches using a 4.5mm crochet hook.

I crocheted the one row repeat pattern, until I reached the desired length.

For this blanket, I decided not to crochet a border as the 
edges crocheted up nice and straight.

I purchased the yarn online from the Wool Warehouse

using 9 x 100g balls of James C.Brett Stonewash DK
Shade - Violet Mix
