A Crocheted Blanket/Throw for my Niece

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

I chose the Diamond Weave stitch for this blanket, which I found HERE
as a free pattern 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 150 stitches using a 6mm crochet hook, I followed the 
four row repeat pattern using each colour way.

I purchased the yarn online from Wool Box

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

2 each of Candyfloss, Cream, Lavender & Turquoise

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
