Vintage Vineyard Blanket Crochet Pattern
You know those magical crochet projects that seem to fly from your hands as soon as you pick up your hook and yarn? This is one of those for me. With a rhythmic stitch pattern and beautiful colors, I created the...
Full of fabulous texture and gorgeous colors, it's just my kind of design. I also like the versatility of changing up the colors. Here's a brighter sample by one of my talented testers Courtney...
The pattern has been thoroughly tested and includes:
~notes, stitch abbreviations and special stitches sections
~yarn colors and quantities used in the sample
~complete blanket and border instructions including the multiples number to adjust the dimensions to whatever you wish
The sample blanket dimensions are 41.5in X 46.5in (105cm X 118cm) and required an I (5.5mm) hook and just under 2200 yds of worsted yarn. By the way, this blanket all started with this gloriousness...
The yarn is Vintage Berroco--an incredibly soft worsted that is 52% acrylic, 40% wool and 8% nylon. Seriously perfect for this project. I loved working with it. (Thanks, Cathy, for my Christmas gift!)
Oh, and take a gander at what Sandra from Beautiful Boardwalk did with her test sample...
She simply made the blanket to the width outlined in the blanket pattern with six color changes and then seamed it--adding a button for decoration. (Because buttons make everything better, right?)
Oh, and another thing--I really love the border--how it imitates the stitch pattern but is simple and crisp. I'm happy with this one, I tell ya!
You can grab a copy of this pattern or any of my patterns in my shops here...
And don't forget, if you purchase $16.50 worth of patterns, enter code ESAVE3 at checkout on Etsy or FBSAVE3 on Felted Button for a $3 savings. Nifty, huh?
I hope life finds you well. I've got some pretty exciting stuff going on behind the scenes at Felted Button, but the rest of the day will be spent weaving ends. (Not so exciting.)
