As you can see, it's the perfect size for snuggling under :-)
For the edging I did a row of double crochet in purple, then 4 rows of treble crochet with the stitch worked into the gap between stitches in the previous row to try to get a more blurred colour change. Finally I finished it with another row of double crochet in purple
Our girl cat, Rosie, was curious to see what we were up to
Boo!
She got away ;-)
I made this blanket using Stylecraft Special DK because it's soft and washable. It was also in my stash! The squares were just simple granny squares, there is a nice tutorial on Bunny Mummy's blog. I joined the squares together using slip stitches.

DeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I love your crochet blanket, I have a ripple one under way that really needs finishing before its intended recipient is born!

DeleteDo you have an Etsy shop? My grandson loves orange and would go crazy for this one. I don't crochet and severe carpal tunnel has put an abrupt stop to my knitting.

Thanks, Beverly
Hi, sorry Beverly, I don't have an etsy shop and I don't sell things I make any more. I'm sure you could find a crocheter who could make a similar blanket for you, it's just made from simple granny squares :)
DeleteAh, but not one with your keen sense of color & design. You have the eye of an artist.
DeleteBeautiful blanket. So colourful. It makes people (and cats) happy, I'm sure. Have a nice week. Regula
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful happy blanket
