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

Magic Blanket

I started this  blanket a few months ago and put it down and got caught up doing other style blankets for Project Linus. I call this the “Magic Blanket” because I wasn’t happy with the colors, until I added the orange and magically I got the pop I was looking for. 50×50 .This is a solid granny square, you can find the free pattern, with excellent instructions at Fiber Flux .

Skittles Blanket

Here is a cheerful “Skittles” inspired blanket for Project Linus. A heavy warm blanket to supply hugs to a  child. 50×50 Happy Easter 🙂

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
