Wrapped up

Almost two years can be spent making granny squares, few at a time, every now and then. Two day offs can be spent joining granny squares. The following evenings can be spent wrapped up in and under your new blanket.

Almost two years ago I decided to start making a granny square blanket, but only as a side project. I decided not to buy any yarn for it, only use the left-overs. So, once in a while I had to wait until I had more left-overs again. I got some yarns from my gran, mom and friends. I was in no rush.

Tonight I've wrapped in this lovely new blanket, as we speak. The final size turned out as big as 140cm X 190cm.

In total I crocheted 192 squares with 4 rows each. For joining, I used this brilliant tutorial, which also made it look as if there was 5 rows in each square. I also made one biiig row to go around the whole blanket.

For joining, I used 350g of Hayfield's Bonus DK yarn, which was the only yarn I bought just for this project. It's acrylic, but I like the softness of it.

What shall I start next?

Sivuprojektini, isoäidinneliö-peitto on vihdoin valmis! Melkein kahden vuoden tekemisen jälkeen sain tänään yhdistettyä viimeiset neliöt, hurraa! Mitäs nyt sitten?
