First Project: Squares Blanket

So excited for my first really big project, it is a squares blanket, and the pattern I am following is by Drops Design and is called Bohemian Oasis Blanket.

I will be updating my new Projects Section page for it as I go, where I will have more photos and update on my progress!

It is going super well so far I am enjoying making each square, since they go quick it gives the illusion of satisfaction that I am 1 square closer to the 77 I need in total!

My First Chunky Blanket

I wanted to share some more photos of the blanket I finished this week. I had a ton of chunky yarn (Link) and have been trying to find a blanket pattern that was simple to learn and did not take weeks to complete. I am super happy about how it turned out!

I would say it ended up about 4 feet x 4 feet, give or take cause its rather stretchy. Great for curling up on the couch, now to make sure Chester Cat does not get his fur all over it ;)

Diamond Hats Pattern

One of the first patterns I fell in love with is this awesome diamond pattern. At first it was rather daunting to try and figure out how in the world this thing comes together, but once I got the hang of it I cranked out a whole bunch of them.

Here are a few that I started out with first:

Diamond Hat Single Color

Berry

Diamond Hat Single Color

Medium Blue

Diamond Hat Single Color

Leaf Green

I learned this pattern from a great tutorial I found here: Hodge Podge Crochet

I then played around with adding different colors:

Diamond Hat Triple Color

I couldn’t stop there so I played around more with some different ways to do different colors too:

Diamond Hat Duo Color

Diamond Hat Peacock Overlay

Diamond Hat Striped

Diamond Hat Chunky Duo Color

I love this pattern it is so versatile so I will be continuing to experiment with this pattern and post up more as I finish them. Hope you like them!
