Colourfulness

 

 

So this is what the new yarn is turning into – another blanket, my favorite kind of project.

Pattern: Country fresh blanket, by Patons
Yarn: Merino extra fine, Garnstudio (original yarn: Patons North America Decor)
Hook: 5 mm

Being very eager to start (regardless of the milling WIPs I got on the go already) I went ahead and started the project. I chose one hook size bigger for the foundation chain row, and about 3 rows in realized that the chain stitches were too tight… So I decided to start over, going up another hook size. But when I tried the 7 mm hook, it didn’t get much looser, so I had to resort to google. And then I came across the great foundations stitch that makes the foundation chain st and single crochet in one! Very cool, check out this link for instructions. There’s no going back to the old ways now 🙂
