Charity blanket #2- Sixty Million Trebles (First c2c)

I have completed my second blanket for Sixty Milion Trebles. (Find out more information about this charity Here).

This is a 36x36 inch blanket made by crocheting corner to corner (c2c). After struggling with the first blanket being so heavy to handle and my yarn holding finger getting tired I used my DIY Crochet Accessories for assistance.

I have never tried a corner to corner blanket like this, I love it. It worked up a lot faster then my Charity Granny Square blanket. I love the colours and I quite like how random it is aswell.

As I have never made a corner to corner blanket before I didn't know what pattern to do. It would annoy me if the pattern didn't finish perfectly when I got to 36 inches. I probably could have worked it out, if I could be bothered, but nah. So instead I used a Random Number Generator to choose the number of rows of each colour for me. I think it turned out really nice, and no annoyance of a pattern not being perfect.

Anyway enough blabbering here it is:


This blanket has added 22,384 trebles to the 60 million trebles count. We are currently on 23 million trebles!

I am planning on making more charity blankets and I have some patterns in mind for even more. So much to do, not enough time to do it! 

Hook off. 


Enjoy this post?

Crochet Waistcoat (with link to free pattern)

I love waistcoats and have spent a lot of time looking for a crochet waitcoat pattern that I actually like. When came across one that I would actually wear I added it straight to my to do list! I think it is quite smart and simple looking (just the way I like things). Here it is: This is the first piece of clothing that I have made and I really like the way it has turned out. The patterns is well written and easy to follow, however I did have to keep trying the waistcoat on as I was making it because I have a very small build and most 'normal' sized clothes do not fit me. After making a few adjustments to the pattern the waistcoat fits perfectly. It is so comfortable and looks great over a shirt, I have had a few compliments whilst wearing it so overall a great make. The pattern is quite simple as far as clothes patterns go, it took me about two days to make, I probably could have done it in one day if I had the time. Find the pattern  Here .

Crochet Sorting Hat

A very Harry Potter obsessed friend wanted me to make her a Sorting hat. It was pretty good timing to be honest as I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter books at the minute, I read them when they first came out and had the urge to re-read. I do however need to get my hands on the films just so I can compare the books to the film just for my own interest. I've never really been interested in the films. Here is the finished product: The pattern (below for link) I used is ace and really easy to follow however when I made it the first time it was way too small. At the end of the pattern it says to add extra rounds and increases until the hat fits. If I had have done this the face would have been a really small face right at the top of the hat that would just have looked utterly wrong. I used chunky yarn as suggested in the pattern however I did not have the size hook that was suggested so I used the size down but made loose stitches. Anyway, as I said, it turned out sma...
