The chevron blanket is finished. It’s smallish at 35 x 44 inches but a nice size for a baby or small child. It’s big enough to cover my lap sitting in the chair – funny how knit and crochet blankets seem bigger than quilts of the same size! I guess it’s the stretchiness.
- Pattern – Chevron blanket found free on Ravelry
- Hook size – J
- Yarn – Caron Big Cakes, colorway is Nightberry – 2 cakes used.
- I chained 152. Next time I’ll go a little bigger.
I’ve already pulled yarn for the next one. It will be another linen stitch blanket with the Lion’s Brand Mandala Ombré yarn … you can see I have a whole bin with this yarn. It’s a favorite of mine and I was happy to find it at Walmart last year for a good price and stocked up a bit. I’ve also bought it at Joann’s.
It’s really pretty. I’ve never used that yarn before but I just might have to try it.
Good size for a recliner quilt for a favorite aunt.
Congrats on your freshly finished blanket, Mary! I’ve been tempted by that yarn. The color combinations are awesome!
