Some of you who have been around for a while may remember this
This was D3's Xmas blanket for her NRL team - Souths
She really wanted something bigger
So I undid all the borders back to this .....
So that makes it 7 x 7
Adding a few more squares, it became this
So big I could not get high enough to get a full photo of it ☺
11 x 13 squares a total of 130 x 155 cm
And quite weighty
While I did love the outer border on the original blanket (which was worked in htr/hdc, one row per colour), I did not know if I would have enough wool left to even do one of this border. So there is a small border of one row of each colour worked in sc/dc
The wool of course is Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic in 8 ply
I'm still waiting for input as to how it works for D3 - but she was most appreciative of what I had done ☺
Its fantastic Maria, what a great crocheter you are :)) I love the pattern layout you have chosen also..
ReplyDeletehave a great day :))
I love your definition of a few more squares - almost twice as many as there were before. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and, like pattas, I like the pattern layout too.
A monster effort! Great work, Maria.
