Kaleidoscope blanket: done :)

By
August 23, 2011

Goooooooooooood moooooorning !

Kaleidoscope is done….after all the joining and the edging stuff I am proud to show it to you in all its glory πŸ˜€

Enjoy …

160 little colorful squares joined with a very easy and beautiful method don’t you think? and it is a very very very fast method….pfffffff…so fast I joined all the squares in two days πŸ™‚

If you’re interested I’ll be very happy to explain it step by step with a graphic πŸ˜‰

and make also a graphic pattern for the two edging rounds …

The blanket measures 130x85cm…It is crocheted with Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn with a 4.5mm crochet hook…

Sarah, my daughter, is in love…. She slept with it yesterday even if it is 36 Celsius degree here (still in a very very hot summer days)

Hope you liked it too πŸ˜‰

Have a colorful day!

  23. Michael

    It’s beautiful, and I think the joining is a big improvement over straight lines (especially for connecting single-color squares) . The creamy zig-zags remind me of icing / frosting, for some reason. :o) No wonder your daughter is so happy with it!

  24. Jo Boylin

    I love it, i would love to see a pattern so i can make my very own straight away!! Really beautiful, well done!! x

  25. Helen

    Definately colourlicious and happy… a wonderful thing to make for your little one… my son is 21 and still insists on having a blanket that I crocheted for him on his bed!

    So yes please to your directions for the “zig zag join” looks amazing.

    Best regards

    Helen
