Sage Wisdom Spectrum Granny Square Crochet Blanket

Here are a few photos of my latest blanket, which I’m ultra happy with. I’m just a little unsure what to do about a border. At the moment it’s measuring 48” x 48” but with a border will be complete at 55” x 55”
Available in my Etsy store later in the week.

GAUGE:

17 sc + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm); 4 shells = 4 in. (10 cm).
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Tiny Tiles Mosaic Crochet Blanket

I started making this on Sunday (re-blogged from July, 2013) and just crocheted right on until I finished it yesterday. I really love the neatness and structure of it. As you can see lots of ends to sew in…………

I’m also unsure what type of border to use as it needs to be really simple so it doesn’t detract from the square pattern. I thought this was going to take forever as each square is so tiny but it’s remarkably quick.

The blanket measures 28”  x 28” at the moment.

Mirasol Hacho Crochet Granny Square Blanket

Absolutely stunning granny square blanket made using Mirasol Hacho 100% pure wool. The blanket is constructed using various sizes of grnny squares and various shades of Mirasol Hacho yarn. The colours are beautiful, opulent and create a kaleidoscope or cornucopia of colour.

Blanket measures 130cm square approx. The blanket can be crocheted together as shown in the photographs with top stitch textured detail or alternatively crocheted together as I go so there would be no top seam.

The blanket is now available to order in my Etsy Store here.
Mirasol project details can be found here at The Mirasol project website click here.

The philosophy behind the Mirasol Project is very simple, the Mirasol Project supports local communities in Peru through the sales of the Mirasol Yarn Collection.
Peru's heritage and culture of textile artistry is rich and ancient. The Mirasol Yarn Collection includes yarn made from the animals bred by these communities for generations in the Peruvian highlands. Without them we would not have this beautiful yarn.
By purchasing the Mirasol Yarn Collection you are supporting the shepherds and their families ensuring the continuation of this tradition.
A portion of every purchase goes directly to the funding of a centre in the remote area of Munani in the region of Puno
