First circle granny blanket...done!

Hello wonderful crafters, I have great news...Yes, I'm done with my first circle granny blanket!
My boyfriend and I took some pictures I wanted to show you, I hope you like them.



My boyfriend's art ;) he, he



When I gave the blanket to the new-parents, they liked it very much. They were really surprised and congratulated my work.

The circle granny blanket was easy to make (and tiring at the same time, he, he!). I used a 4.5 mm hook and loads of love :)


My yarns had different thickness and I tried to equal them all. How? For some of the colours I had to use double yarn and, for the white colour, I had to use three balls at the same time.

This last part (working with triple yarn) was too mesy, I wouldn't recommend it. A couple of times it happened that I had such a tangle that I couldn't go on crocheting. It was too annoying, but I have learned the lesson.

Despite that, this circle granny blanket is one of my masterpieces at the moment!

Circle granny blanket. Part 1

This is the beginning of a project I'm really happy with. A cozy circle granny blanket. Like always, it has started with a lot of inspiration on the Internet and some present ideas.

One couple of friends had a baby three months ago, another one is waiting for a baby that will come in few days, and my dear small sister...I would like to give this special crocheted gift to them.

By now, I have chosen the colours I want to use:





And started crocheting the circles. I want to make the baby blankets 9 rows by 9, and a bigger blanket for my sweet sister, who is around 170 cm tall already :)
That makes a lot of work, huh?






 


So this was it for part one, I hope you like it and start crocheting a circle granny blanket soon. It's super easy and enjoyable.
