Baby Blanket  

Posted by: G.R.I.T.S. in , ,






This is a Blanket that I made for a Baby that was born in December of 2008!



Pattern: Chain-as long as you want...I think i did like 150-200(i know a big span but yall know how bad I am about remembering to write these sort of things down)



Row 1: Chain 3 and in the 4th chain from hook, Do a double crochet(DC) and do DC for the rest of the chain length. Ch. 3 and turn Repeat for ROW 2 at end of row 2 ch.4 turn



Row 3: TC (tripple Crochet) the whole length. at end Ch. 3 and turn.



Repeat Row 1-3 till you get desired size. Fasten off!



With other color...Start in a Corner, with a Slip Stitch. Ch.3 then 6 TC in Corner Opening. then 2 DC, then 6 Tripple all the way around the Blanket....this will make your border! with the ripple effect.
Sorry that the Photo's Aren't the best....But Oh well, you can see...:)
Enjoy!

Lap Blanket  

Posted by: G.R.I.T.S. in ,



Hey Yall,
I made this blanket for my G. Grandma, and she loved it! Now I made it a tad smaller b/c she wanted a lap blanket, but what I really did was take a pattern for a baby blanket, To see the pattern for this blanket click here That will take you to the spot on my blog where the pattern is located, I just wanted to let you see what it looks like!
So this is what the blanket looks like...this is one square, it's very simple to figure out and do, and the sewing together is easy as well. You can't see it in these photos, but I took the purple, and 'sewed' the outside edge to give it that 'stitched' look. It added a nice touch.

In my search to find a Lap Blanket Pattern, I Found out you can use a baby blanket pattern and just use adult colors, I also ran across this,

GAUGE:

1 Square = 9 3/4 in. (25 cm) in pattern stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
