Shelby’s Blanket

Posted on by Vikki Lynn Sorensen

I no sooner finished Emilie’s blanket and got her married and all settled when Shelby asked me for a blanket for her bedroom. She wanted red/white/black colors. I went through a few Pinterest posts before settling on the one I chose which was a simple granny square blanket.

This was created using Red Heart Super Saver yarn in cherry red, black and white with a 5mm crochet hook. Each square is 18 rounds and I made 16 squares. I sewed them together and used a granny square stitch as a border. It’s huge! And she loves it! As always, I washed the blanket in Woolite in order to soften up the yarn a bit. Low heat, of course.

Emilie’s Blanket

Posted on by Vikki Lynn Sorensen

As soon as my daughter told me she was engaged and had a date to move out, I know I’d make her a blanket. The C2C stitch was chosen by her and she asked for a gentle, neutral color to match any decor in her new home.

I chose Red Heart Jumbo Saver yarn in soft white. I used a 4.5 mm hook and created her very first homemade keepsake item to start her life as a Mrs. I washed it in Woolite to soften it up and gave it to her on her wedding day.
