About

Unusually for me, I made this exactly to a pattern. And a lovely one it is too, from Lucy at Attic24.
It uses Stylecraft's new Highland Heathers yarn which I'm really liking - though the colours don't photograph well. The finished blanket has a deeper, richer colour than in the pics.
It is very straightforward to make, and definitely worth perfecting Lucy's Join-as-you-go method, as it is quick and dispenses with sewing. I also worked on a way of crocheting securely over my tails, so I didn't have hundreds of ends to sew in. Again this made it much simpler.
I was making it just for fun, but when I drew my friend Rachel in our Secret Santa it felt like the perfect gift for her (though of course it did mean she guessed who gave it!)
