TagsAfternoon Nap
- Designed by Sherri Hoch
Is there anything better than an afternoon nap under a squishy, soft and warm blankie? I don't think so! Take a look at this sweet, modern looking and very simple blankie by Sherri Hoch. What's more, the deep, blue, ocean color adds a fantastic pop to the whole project. The finished size is 55” x 47”.
Afternoon Tea Throw
This blanket is a light weight blanket worked in a chevron design. The design features rows of solid chevron alternating with an open chevron design. For this pattern you will require three Caron Big Cakes by Yarnspirations or the equivalent in a worsted weight yarn. You will also need a 6 mm crochet hook. This blanket is worked as one piece and crocheted lengthwise. After the body of the blanket is completed, a simple shell edging is added to the two shorter ends.
