I have always loved stripes. Stripes are a great way to have a bunch of colors and still have it look organized. These colors were chosen by my boyfriend's sister, Beth. The way they came together makes me really happy. This blanket was my first attempt at the granny stripe pattern.
By doing two rows of each color, it gives it a zigzag type of stripe. When I started, I expected that the stripes would look straight across. The zigzags seem to give the blanket a bit more life though. And the colors are so very vibrant together, which definitely helps.
I like how the edging came out. The red is the most vibrant color in the blanket, so I wanted to use it as edging. It is also the color that I started the blanket with, so it made the most sense to edge in that.
I am definitely going to be making some more blankets in this pattern. It is easy and fast to crochet up, and I think it looks amazing. I just need to decide what colors to make it in now!
This blanket was finished on 2/14/14 and weighs 9.25 oz.
Total Yarn stash used: 36.4 oz (2 lbs 4.4 oz)
