I do not remember a time where I was not dabbling with yarn in some way, but I did not really do much with it until I started crocheting granny squares for a local shelter.
I enjoy creating things with my hands, so pulling, twisting, and tying bits of string together to form a functional piece of art is right up my alley.
This blanket was based off of a traditional wedding ring quilt. There were no fancy crochet stitches, just single, double, triple, and chains. As for the pattern… I made it up as I went along, as I normally do.
The white diamonds (8) in the centers are modified squares with triple crochet at the tips to help elongate them. The rings are whole (2 brown, 6 green), half (6 brown), and quarter (4 brown) rings, which were outlined in white. They were connected under the overlapping bits after they had been woven together and then the white centers were stitched into the holes. The entire blanket was outlined in a few rows of single crochet to finish it off.
Happy crocheting all for #NeedleworkMonday
