Another trip up North and another blanket, I got the evil eye from Hubby when I mentioned I needed more wool for another blanket so I had to make do with all the pastel colours I had left from various projects but I did order some more white.
The square is called Willow I do love this pattern and love you can change the colours for the rows to give a different looking Blanket.
I also tried a new pattern for the edging using Attic 24 scallop border but I found the slip st awkward so changed it to SC which I found quicker but I think that what made it a bit floppy so next time I may just change my crochet hook.
Oh dear blanket finished and off we go up North so new crochet challenge a star baby's blanket, the pattern is quite easy but my problem my crocheting was loose and irregular so I changed my needle and thinking I should of used white instead of cream but its started now and I don't plan to change it now.

A beautiful blanket - it's lovely in the pastel colours. Crochet is one craft I've never managed to master, so I envy anyone who can make such lovely projects!

I am still slogging away at an Attic 24 blankly...it's been put away for a bit though as its now quite large and its been too warm in the evening's to be underneath it!! xx

Ooh your blanket is awesome! Love the gorgeous colours and the squares are so pretty! Loving the star too - can't wait to see the finished piece! xxx
Gorgeous blanket! I love the colors and pattern and your edging is beautiful. Love the new pattern for you next project. I haven't crocheted since before my granddaughter was born and she will be 18 in June..now you make me want to start again.
Debbie, I LOVE your blanket. My daughter is expecting in January and I have started her a Willow blanket. Mine is also pastels. So far I have 5 different colors. I have been searching for the color to join them with and the border color. I love the white you have used. I am wonder if you'd let me know how many squares you used as a total. I only have the pattern for the Willow square and am putting the blanket together on my own. Also it looks like you have more than 5 colors. My pastels are a bit lighter than yours. Thank you so much for sharing this. it is just beautiful.
