Charity Blanket #1- Sixty Million Trebles

I have completed a 36x36" crochet blanket for the Sixty Million Trebles charity if you missed my blog with the information about this charity Click Here. I have never made a blanket before what's a better excuse than charity.

The blanket took me longer than I anticipated. It is made of all the scrap Yarn that I have. I've used up most of my scraps now which is great, I've already gone out to buy more Yarn!

The blanket is made out of granny squares. Instead of making the granny squares separately and sewing them altogether all the end I joined each granny square to the blanket as I went...anything to get out of sewing. All the squares didn't make the blanket to 36" so I made a border carrying on with the granny square theme. Lastly I finished off the blanket with a row of a simple crochet stitch for ease of attaching to other blankets.

15, 615 trebles have now been added to the 60 million count. We have just passed 18.5 million!

I am planning on starting my next blanket very soon. I think it's going to be a C2C blanket. Update coming soon.
