Update

So I’ve been working on a C2C blanket for my mom. I am on the back half of hte blanket, so I decrease at the end of every single row. This part of the blanket is flying by, especially because there are long stretches of one color so I can really find my groove.

I created this blanket using the C2C technique but I’m sure you could just as easily use this to create a SC graphghan

This one functions more like a small throw blanket rather than a full-sized blanket

Update!

I am almost done my first ever graphghan (even though it’s honestly more of a lap throw?)

It’s been a really great learning experience. This is my first project ever using bobbins (mainly due to the billions of color changes) and I’ve enjoyed it! The project moves quicker than a C2C and I like how each row has the same number of stitches (unlike a C2C) but I wish the stitches were bigger.

I will post soon with an image of the finished project, the graph, and the written pattern!

This is what the entire project looks like

Here’s an update on my current project. It’s a blanket for my sister. I got the pattern from Daisy Cottage Designs but I modified it with yarn that my sister picked.

It’s a really easy pattern to work up, which is a nice change of pace from my previous project. Each Cluster V Stitch takes 18 inches of yarn though so I had to roll up so many 1lb balls of yarn in preparation.

I also made the original chain v long because I wanted to make sure it would fit the bed. And boy does it fit...so looks like I might have a queen sized blanket

Shamrock C2C Blanket Graph

[thedecaffeinatedhooker-blog]

This is the finished product of my Shamrock C2C blanket! I messed up on a couple of tiles/squares, which you might be able to tell. But overall, I am very happy with the outcome! It is approximately one Me tall and one Me wide, so about 5ft by 5ft :D

Stay tuned for a picture of the graph and a pdf of the written pattern!
