I made myself this beautiful giant granny square blanket, it seems I have progressed from hairbands, rounded motifs and buntings. I made Esra THIS blanket whilst pregnant, but I made it up as I went along, I feel much more advanced now and want to go crazy making something else and see how creative I can get.
And, PLEASE leave the stereotypes out there, not everybody who crochets is old! It's actually really fun and therapeutic! :)
I love the colours I chose, it's very refreshing and not your usual colour combination. :) I did a scallop border to finish it off!
I used the basic granny square pattern from 'Erika knight's' Crochet Workshop book, the key to a successful square is to use the same tension so that it doesn't twist.
Happy Saturday! xx

Gorgeous blanket, the colours complement each other so well. I wish I knew how to crotchet. I love your bunting too x
This turned out beautifully! I've been wanting to learn how to crochet and knit for years but I never seem to get the hang of it.
This is beautiful, the colours are lovely!I wish I had the time and patience to sit and do something like this, haha :) xx

I love this! I didn't realise you made it when I initally saw the picture. So impressed. Wish I could crochet, I learnt the basics in school but need to pick it up again. Would love to make a blanket in time for the winter - though it would probably take me that long to learn to make it anyway! x
Hi, well done, your blanket is beautiful. I'm trying to teach myself how to Crochet from the same book as you have. Hope you don't mind me asking how long have you been crocheting and how did you learn? X

Crochet addict - I am ridiculously excited to hear that as so am I!!! I only taught myself a couple of months ago (via youtube) but have made 2 baby blankets for friends already and am scratching around for another project. So pleased so find other modern addicted women out there. :) Please keep sharing your work and any links to modern sites or patterns. :)
