When I started this project, I wasn’t exactly sure of the colors I was going to use or if there was even going to be any alternating stitches. As I progressed along on this blanket, I just let it create itself, so to speak.
And, guess what?
I’m absolutely in love with the outcome of this blanket. The colors are rich and beautiful. I couldn’t be more happier with this blanket.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. I used “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby and a 6.0mm hook. The overall size is 45” x 65”.

—tapestry needle for weaving
