One Lovely Blanket

The Spring Garden Afghan 

I really enjoyed making this blanket and managed to finish it in time with the ending of the CAL a lovely blanket in less that five weeks is a great achievement for me.

 It's so frustrating trying to get a good photo of a blanket because my photo's can never capture the beauty of the blanket in real life, I really love the colours but they don't look true in the photo.


This was made for charity but as always it's difficult to let a pretty blanket go, but there are only so many blankets a girl can house.

Stats 
The blanket was made with Sirdar Hayfield Bonus Dk in shades, Salmon, Lemongrass, Ladybird and sunflower all of which I already had in my stash, it took 648 grams of yarn and measures 51 inches by 40.
The free pattern and tutorial is available on The Crochet Crowds website here

Have a great week.😊

  5. This is so pretty. I cant understand how someone can crochet a blanket so quick. It literally takes me weeks to months to make a large one. I crochet pretty fast too.
    But I guess its because I only work on one for a couple hours each night.
