Back in May when it was warm and sunny I taught myself how to make granny squares. Since then I’ve just been hooked!
Well now its October, its cold and rainy and just in time for winter I’ve made a granny square blanket out of my little summer obsession.
I sewed the squares together with black yarn in whip stitch but I think next time I shall either make one giant square the size of a blanket or crochet the small squares together as I go. In total it must have easily taken about 20 hours to sew it together and I was up until 4am this morning determined to get it finished. I think it was well worth it though :)
Hurrah! The blanket looks fab, and finished just in time to enjoy using it now it’s turning colder. I have to keep myself from starting another ripple! xxx
Thank you hon! Go on, give in to it! I don’t think you can have too many ripple blankets :) xxx
Whatever you don’t go for the really big square unless you’ve got BIG WOOL or lots of patience, I’m still trying to finish mine! Actually the whole thing requires patience doesn’t it? Your finished blanket looks great.
Hi Whitney. Yep it certainly needs patience, or a bit of an obsession with crochet :) Thank you for your advice on the big square and for your lovely comment. Nice to meet you! x
Love your blanket – I’ve just finished one for mum for Mother’s Day and completely understand your staying up to get it finished addiction! I must have spent 160 hours crocheting one giant granny square.
Hi Alex
I bet your mum loved the blanket. You can easily lose many hours to crochet but I always think it’s worth it :)
Thank you for visiting x
