Welcome back, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
I made two blankets recently, and I am pretty happy with how they turned out. Normally, I would say that there are more than enough blanket makers to make the world go 'round, but these were inspired by the idea of play. Large enough to wrap around a little one, these blankets are still small enough for a little one to handle by themselves.
This beautiful variation of mermaid colors is a play blanket for my friend's toddler girl. I took a variegated pink yarn (without the green and purple) as a border for a bit of color contrast. It should be about the right size to lay on, lay under, or wrap her toys as she sees fit. I hope she enjoys this colorful creation.
For my friend's little boy, I knit up this fuzzy-yarn blue blanket. The nice thing about novelty yarn is that it is usually very forgiving because of its thick nature. Even though I knit this blanket in a basic garter stitch all the way through it's hard to tell. Even so, I believe it turned out super cozy (even I had a hard time putting this one down)!
As far as design goes, knitting creates a different
texture than crochet, so I selected the more smooth texture of knitting
in hopes that the blankets will be more pleasant for my friend's kids to
hold. Overall, I think both blankets turned out nicely.
I hope you enjoyed these little projects!
Blessings and Peace!
