I'm on a roll with finishing projects lately! We won't talk about the one's I have started though :)
This one has to be my proudest finished projects. I can't believe I actually finished it. Way back in August when I started it, I said to myself why am I making this I'm never gonna finish it. But here you go in less than a year it is finally done and it's a whopper! It measures about 68 inches wide by 96 inches. Definitely the biggest thing I've ever crocheted and probably ever will. I am so in love with it and it fits so perfectly on my bed.

I am so in love with it and it fits so perfectly on my bed.
The pattern can be found here. It is in Swedish but with google translate and a little crochet knowledge its easy to figure out. Or to make it simple, it's just a series of straight double crochet rows and granny stripes, if you wanna make your own just mix them up.
Since we sadly can't get GreenGate products here in the US I dub this blanket my first ever GreenGate!
Hope you all have a fab weekend!
It's just wonderful! ♥

I am in love with this afghan. I must make one! Stunningly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing and beautiful. The colors are so perfect. I am always searching to find if there was someway for us to greengate in the US. I guess maybe I will have to start making my own Greengate too.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I would be very proud if I were you. It must have become very heavy about the half way mark.
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah! Definitely Greengate worthy. Beautiful!!!

I love it! I'm a crocheter too and can appreciate how much time that took. what yarn did you use for it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and the colors and pattern are perfect! I made a lap size tribute to Carh Kidston a few years back. What brand of yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteAnd why is it that GreenGate won't come to the states? So frustrating.
this is absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteREally love this blanket. The colors and the pattern go super well together!

ReplyDeleteNice plaid. I especially like the way your bed is placed under the window.
ReplyDeleteReally cosy!
Hello! I'm wanting to make a bed-spread like this, and am wondering how much of each yarn did you use? The google translate site says, for example, 20 "balls" of blue. How does a "ball" translate to a skein? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm not 100% sure how much yarn I used, but I think it was about 4 to 5 skeins of each color :)
