A Cotton Crochet finish.
Posted on | April 2, 2019 | 12 Comments
Back in November I was working on a crochet blanket which contained a variety of blocks. I was distracted when one of the colourways really appealed to me as a possibility for a full blanket.

So of course I went off on a tangent and made a block to try it out.

The more it grew the more I liked it.

You can see where it is going now.

I completed the twenty five blocks, stitched it together and added the simple border.

The pattern is from a Patons book, Colourful Crochet – number 108. It is simply called Mandala Motif Blanket.

I used an 8 ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills. It was a lovey yarn to work with in the blanket.
It has ended up as a 125cm square.

My next crochet distraction is the Sweet pea blanket that is a CAL from Attic 24.
After a crazy cold weekend we are back to lovely sunny Autumn days. Perfect for time in the garden during the day, and stitching inside in the evenings. Have a great week.
Cheers, Karen
Wowziers that is absolutely gorgeous! It’s been years since I crocheted and this makes me want to start it again!

Thanks for all the pictures showing the progress of the blanket. It really gives perspective and makes appreciating the work easier. I love the colors. The white and green circles really give the circles a mandala feel. Well done my friend!
What a beautiful finish, Karen! I love crochet, also. That sweet pea blanket looks like fun. A lot of the success is in the colors. Your colors are adorable.
