Sweet Pastel Summer Throw

Today, I am sharing the blanket I recently crocheted
for my friend's 70th birthday.

I made it using the pattern for the Sweet Pastel Summer Throw, designed by
Sue Rawlinson also known as ‘Sweetpea Family’ on Facebook and Instagram 

I purchased Sue's pattern and the yarn pack from Wool Warehouse
which you can find HERE

The pattern uses 9 x 100g balls of Yarnsmiths Create l DK
and I used the following shades:
Denim Blue, Off White, Duck Egg, Vintage Pink, Silver, Light Sage
Linen, Rose Pink, Peachy Pink

Crochet Hooks: 4mm & 5mm

As always, I love the colour combination and the different stitches used in Sue's pattern,

I have a feeling I will be making another sometime in the future.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

A Crocheted Blanket/Throw for my Great Niece

 Sharing with you today another crocheted blanket I recently made
for one of my great nieces.

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

I would certainly recommend 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 140 stitches using a 4.5mm crochet hook.

I crocheted the two row repeat pattern, changing the colour every ten rows
until I reached the desired length.

I finished by crocheting a border of one row of double crochet, one row of 
half trebles, one row of double crochet, and one row of 

half trebles.

I purchased the yarn online from Wool Warehouse

using 8 x 100g balls of Yarnsmiths Create DK
 2 in ‘Cream’, 2 in 'Light Pink', 2 in 'Pinkberry' and 2 in 'Purple Orchid'
