With the cooler weather upon us, it was time to dig out this Red Velvet crochet blanket that I've been working on (and off) for the past couple of years.
I searched the blog was surprised that I wasn't able to find any reference to it at all. I was hoping to find a start date for it.
I bought a bunch of these Caron Cakes (in red velvet colourway) a couple of years ago during a sale at Spotlight. These cakes are made up of 80% acrylic and 20% are a 10 ply yarn.
It's a nice big granny rectangle - I found the tutorial for this rectangle on YouTube, though honestly can't remember which video it was. If you'd like to start one too, maybe just search for a crochet granny rectangle.
When I finish this yarn cake, I have one more in my stash, so that'll be how big the blanket gets. It was originally intended for my son, but over the past couple of years, he's gotten so tall that I'm not sure how useful it'll be for him, other than as a leg/lap warmer :)

Hi Anorina wow this blanket is gorgeous and the colours are stunning,well done my friend on your beautiful finish xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Shez. I love how these colours work together too, but I must admit that I'll be happy when it's finished ;-)
DeleteYour crochet is lovely. I am sure your son can use it in winter cuddled up on the couch watchingi tv or reading.
ReplyDeleteHi Ondrea, thanks for stopping by. Yes he's certainly a boy who loves to snuggle under a blanket when he's watching telly or playing on his xbox. I hope you have a lovely weekend x
DeleteGorgeous colours in your blanket. It looks like it will be cosy and comfy to snuggle under.
