GIANT Granny : Tadaaaaaa

By
August 1, 2011

Good mooooorniiiiiiiiiing šŸ™‚

How are you?

Feels great to be with you today!

Wanna jump with me in the land of colors to brighten up your monday? Yallaaaa! Let’s make it! Let’s jump in some granny loveliness…

Yes! It is done and I’m crazy in love with it šŸ™‚

My Giant is 48 rounds + the border… It measures 135x135cm…


The yarn is “Nako Vizon” a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 4.5mm hook…

I enjoyed sooo much crocheting this blanket …

Specially the yellow border! (OOH how I love making borders šŸ™‚ )

I used this border as it reminds me of the granny’s small squares… You can find its graphic pattern here! It is very simple to make and it looks great with a granny square šŸ˜‰

No more words just more pics… šŸ˜‰

Hope you enjoyed šŸ˜€

Before I go today I want you to welcome some new participants to the Challenge (Yes it is still going on šŸ˜‰ )
