Peppermint Blanket

 

 

The Peppermint blanket is my first blanket of 2016 for Project Linus and is  named after all the cool minty colors. I received a nice bag of all the same brand yarn from a friend of mine , so it was very easy to get the idea.  The blanket is a simple corner to corner rectangle pattern, and the trim is one row of single crochet, the next row is a V stitch and then finished off with a row of single crochet. I love how it looks. 52×45

Elephant’s on Parade

 

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

Minion Blanket

This was a fun little blanket to make, I didn’t have a pattern, I got the idea from a photo posted on  Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. 36×36

A Crochet Giggle

I saw this today and it made me laugh out loud, thought I would share the laugh. I always have gauge issues, so have to use smaller hook because l crochet  so loose. 🙂

Strawberry Shortcake Blanket

 

“Strawberry Shortcake Blanket” is the name for this cheerful blanket,   I chose the name because of the pretty colors  that remind me of  beautiful strawberries. 46×46

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

Celebrate this year with new hope, new resolutions and new creativity. Try to find a new way to live a wonderful  life. Wishing you  a Happy New Year ! This is my first Project Linus blanket for 2015, wow how time fly’s! This  “Little Boy Blue” blanket is  another corner to corner blanket, that is 46×46 and is very soft.

Honey Rose Blanket

 

Here is another “Corner to Corner” blanket for Project Linus, that my sister made in just seven days. The colors and shell stitch make this a very sweet blanket, hence the name “Honey Rose”. 46X46
