Today I want to show you this blanket crocheted in traditional granny stitch but in diagonal way. It is easy to work and aah... so lovely result, isn't it? The colour inspiration came to me from this
Ripple Blanket. Thanks Sher! ♡
For the main colour I took Dune (Big Value by King Cole). From the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the picture above the colours are: Turquoise, Apple, Sunshine, Candy, Matador, Plum. These all are Stylecraft Special, except of Robin for Apple and Patons FAB for Candy. All yarn are acrylic in DK weight. The hook I've crocheted with is 5mm. Last time I don't use the 4mm hook for that weight yarn. With a larger hook the blanket turns out more loose and airy. I like it! As well it's more quickly then with a smaller hook :)
For the border I made 3 rounds:
Rnd 1:: 3dc in each ch3-space; for the corner - 3dc, ch2, 3dc.
Rnd 2:: (dc, ch, dc) in each space betwee the 3dc groups; in corner space - dc, ch, dc, ch2, dc, ch,dc.
Rnd 3:: 6dc in the corner, (sc in next ch-space, 5dc in next ch-space) - repeat.
My sister ordered me this blanket to make a present for her friend's baby.
