I'm a big fan of Patons Lace yarn, particularly the variegated colors of this brand. This is one of those projects that went with me everywhere I went for a month or so. The kind you pick up and work on in between other, more complicated ones that require thought and a post it note to keep track of where you are in a pattern.
A granny pattern is perfect for those times. No need to change colors, follow a pattern or sew up at the end. This will be for an upcoming baby shower where the sex is yet to be known! There is a little pink in the yarn, but not enough for a new daddy to notice. They are quite fussy about colors if a boy arrives!
This was about 5 skeins, a D/3 - 3.25mm hook with a simple, single crocheted edge.
Time to gear up for the Christmas holidays. I'm feeling my
Christmas Hats Collection calling!
Best,
Sheila

ReplyDeleteThat a nice looking blanket. Just tell daddy that it wasn't 100 years ago that pink was a boys colour. It was considered too strong for girls.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out very nicely! I like the colors and I do love working with a granny stitch. So easy and quick! Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
