Whydiss

My blanket was totally off the cuff design.

The edging was my own design and a follow up on the last edge that I did. I am not an expert in crochet and find it hard to follow patterns, so I tend to make up something and keep repeating it.

This edge was a more little bubbly and I got to use a pivot stitch.

This blanket was a true labour of love and I really enjoyed making it.  It is far from perfect and the edges don’t lie flat but I love it just the same.

I nearly forgot to take a photo/s of the blanket before I gave it away. Here it is draped over my chair at work, just minutes before I gave it to a pregnant collegue.

This is my pattern and hopefully those that have a little crochet knowledge will be able to work it out.

UPDATE: I found out this morning my collegue had a baby girl. The weather has gotten rather cold over the last couple of days and I’m sure this blanket will be used regularly.
