I finished Miss M's blanket over the weekend. She has named it the Jelly Bean blanket which I think is as good a name as any!
The pattern for the squares is from the book Granny Squares by Susan Pinner. I really, really love this book and can't recommend it enough. The projects are simple to do but turn out so pretty. I think this is my fourth time using this particular pattern in a blanket...I just love the effect it gives.
I made 36 squares and joined them with a double crochet seam. The border is 2 rounds of trebles and then a row of shell clusters. I used a 3.5mm hook and all the yarn was from the Stylecraft Special DK range (love this yarn so much!). The colours I used were cream, lemon, spring green, clematis, candy floss and cloud blue.
So another blanket finished...I guess that means on to the next one then?!
