Here’s a new list for blankets, this time for crochet (see knitting projects here). I found some really nice ones to include in this collection and there’s sure to be something here to suit everyone’s style. I’ll be adding more as I come across them, enjoy!
Basket Weave: Finished size 42″x33″ (approximately). This is also easy to make up into a bigger piece.
Afghan: Finished size is approx. 38″ square, this is very stretchy lengthwise. If desired, may be blocked to measure 37″ x 46″.
Gecko: Only requires a small amount of each colour so it’s perfect for using up scraps of worsted-weight yarn. Finished size measures 22″ x 22″.
Spiral: A simple design, worked in the round. Suitable for beginners.
Cotton Chenille: Finished size measures 26″ square (approx.), to make it a little larger, just change the number of stitches that you chain.
Quilt: Fabric is used to back and bind edges.
Ripple: Afghan measures approximately 30″/76 cm wide by 38″/96.5 cm long. A knit version is also available.
Bobble Stitches & Stripes: Large enough to cover a newborn or infant carrier car seat, you’ll need 7 skeins in desired colors of worsted weight yarn and a 5.0mm hook (H/8).
Field of Dreams: Finished size measures 39″ x 32″ and is made up of 20 squares in a variety of color combinations.
Easy Afghan: Soft and cozy, this is made with three strands of bulky yarn and measures 34″ x 30″ when done.
Teddy Doudou: A small comfort lovey, this is for the teddy head/ears/arms, use granny square of choice for the rest.
Austyn’s: Main body is done in a trellis stitch and has a fun ruffly edge worked in two colors.
I have been trying to pass on to other knitters and crocheters the following tip:When crafting a large piece of work put a towel under the piece its so manageable.
I am trying to find a pattern for a baby afghan I used to make years ago. I originally found the pattern in a booklet put out by Red Heart Yarns. The center part was like a granny square that you continued until it had 104 doubles on a side. Then you made a scalloped edge that was about 12 inches wide. It was made with baby weight yarn. If anyone has this pattern, I would appreciate it if you would contact me. Thank you.

Hi Edna, I added the direct link to the pdf file in the description area above, see if that works for you. If not, make sure you have the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer…if you have an outdated version, that might be the problem. I’ve checked the file and it loads fine.
