After what has been a monster 3 year hiatus, I have decided to return to the blogosphere. This has been largely prompted by my discovery of RSS feeds and subsequent finding of random crafty/foody blogs that have inspired me to make/eat all sorts of fabulous goodies. So I'm going to use this opportunity to document my crafticious/delicious creations.
I finally finished my crocheted blanket today, at least a year after it was started. It's made from a single ply variegated wool and super soft and cuddly. Badger is in love! I've lost the link to the website where I found the pattern, so I'll attempt to make it up below. Super simple.
Crocheted blanket
I used 20 balls of 50g single ply variegated wool plus 1/4 ball of random stash wool for the edging and a 7mm crochet hook (I crochet super-tight).
Chain a foundation row of 151 stitches (or however wide you want it to be in an odd number).
Row 1: Single crochet (sc) to end
Row 2: Chain 1, sc in first chain, *skip 1, sc and double crochet (dc) in next chain, repeat from * to end.
Repeat Row 2 until the desired length, then finish with a row of sc in every stitch.
Edging: sc around edge, turning corners by sc, chain 2, sc in corner stitch. When you've gone all the way round, turn and go back in the opposite direction for a second round.
Hopefully that makes sense. I'll try and track down a link to the original pattern.
