My father  just turned 96 this year, I thought a new blanket would make his day. This is a nice soft cozy blanket using mostly Caron simply soft yarn. Can’t wait to see his face when l give it to him.  ❤

Cozy Blanket

Here is another blanket my sister made before she left, out of  scraps that were left over from my donated yarn stash. It’s a small blanket but I’m sure it will be cozy for small child. 37×37

Class of October 2015

“The Class of October 2015” are the result of a very rainy October. These comfort  dolls are  given out with a small blanket for  a sick child from my Project Linus chapter. My sister, husband and I had a lot of laughs making these cute dolls, that will give comfort to a small child. Can you guess what doll was the first one?

Here is another  corner to corner blanket that my sister made for Project Linus while visiting me. The edging for this blanket is really cute and fun to do. The pattern is Elephant’s on Parade  and is very easy. 48×48

A Couple of Blankets

Cute 3’x3′ blankets for the   World’s Biggest Stocking Project. I think l will make a few more later in the year, they were very easy and quick to make. Anyone can get involved, knit or crochet a piece of the stocking to support military children left behind.

Rectangle Granny Blanket

Here is a “Rectangle Granny” that was very easy to make and large enough for a teenager. This is the largest blanket l have made for “Project Linus”.  Thanks to the “Crochet Crowed“ for the inspiration and pattern video.  68×50

Chunky Blanket

This is my latest blanket for Project Linus . This is a nice thick  corner to corner  blanket, using 2 strands of 4 ply worsted weight yarn, so “Chunky” is a great name for this cozy blanket. 42×42

Flower Power Blanket!

  

This No-Sew Blanket is  an easy way to  make  a blanket for Project Linus or any charity organization you may be involved with. My husband and I had only one argument when we made this “Flower Power Blanket” . Here is a very simple video that shows how  easy  it is to make a  No- Sew Blanket. 43×55

Rectangular Corner to Corner Blanket

This is my first rectangular corner to corner blanket for Project Linus. This was a lot easier then I  anticipated, it is almost the same as the square corner to corner blanket, only difference is, once you have the width that you want,  you stop growing on one side  of the blanket and keep increasing the other side until you get the length that you want then you decrease both sides to finish. I have to give credit to the Crochet Crowd for great video instructions. The instructional video  shows you how to make a square corner to corner blanket, how to change yarn and how to make a rectangle corner to corner blanket. 43×55
