Million Stitches Blanket Afghan Crochet Tutorial How To Pattern

Million Stitches Crochet blanket
The tutorial is rally a how to make this blanket, once the foundation rows are set the blanket is worked continuously and can be made to any size that you wish so 30" x 30" or 60" 60"
I have made the blanket twice using all 4 ply and sock yarn but the pattern would work with sport, dk, aran eights with the appropriate crochet hook. By using sock yarn the drape of the blanket is wonderful.
This is the ultimate 'scrappy project' for crocheters and is also a fabulous stash buster. I will be offering assorted colours of sock yarn in 10g amounts in packs of 10, 20 & 50 (100g, 200g & 500g)
This blanket is suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced crocheters alike.
If you do make the blanket and use instagram please post your progress photos using hashtag #millionstitchesblanket it will be great to see how everyone's blanket turn out.
Enjoy the blanket and the slow crochet - it's a lot of work but very much worth it.

Million Stitches Large Crochet Granny Square Pure Wool Blanket Afghan

Here is a truly unique OOAK crochet afghan blanket. I made this using indie dyed yarns and it is made from lots of different colours of 4 ply sock weight yarn. Because the yarn is so fine and the crochet stitch so small it has superb drape. Although lightweight it is really warm and cosy due to the use of wool. I have called this blanket million stitches - because it has 1000's and 1000's of stitches.
It really is a work of art and truly delightful. This blanket will e loved and cherished by whoever the lucky recipient is.
Some of the photographs were taken during the journey of making the blanket - a little photo chronology.
