I came across this free pattern on this web site through Pinterest. Thanks so much for having it available to me.
I ran through some difficulties with the pattern so when I redo the blanket I will post some changes I made, later. So for now, I'll just include pictures in this blog.
I used three colors: Navy Blue, Silver Grey, & White with a size 6.5mm hook.
It was during these first few rows that I noticed there was a warp/bubble in the center (I pressed them out for the photo) so in the other rows there after, I removed one stitch from the group of 3s...
Here, I decided I didn't want to end the blanket with a grey, and decided to use a strip of blue.
I forgot to take a measurement of the final width before I mailed it to my nephew but if I had a guess I would say it is 4 to 4.5 ft across.
In this picture, one can kinda see the warp/bubble in the center most part of the star, I was talking about previously.
Yep, this is an older post, but I gotta know if you ever redid his blanket successfully. I'm looking for a pattern for my faterinlaw and the back of his chair. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a chance to redo this one... But when you are working the pattern, keep in mind that I thought there were too many stitches at one point. Since I have made this, I realized it could have been the way I crocheted, as I was a beginner at the time. :) If you were to give this a try, just keep your eye on the warping/bubbling and make adjustments as you go.
