Mother's Day Present

My mom asked me for a "lacy, Victorian, shabby-chic" blanket a while ago. I had been putting it off because...well, I don't know why lol.  But Mother's Day was coming around so I guess it was time to kick it into high gear

I was excited to be able to use my new blocking board that my dad so kindly made me.  I used a pattern by Donna Mason-Svara called Just Peachy Blossom (link at the very bottom).  It's free on Ravelry.

 

I did 24 squares in a 6x4 pattern.  Yarn is Vanna's Choice in pink, Loops & Threads Impeccable in Aran and Stylecraft special dk in sage. I worked the whole blanket in a 4.5mm hook.  I used a flat braid join to connect the squares.

I used a border from Around the Corner Crochet Borders by Edie Eckman.

I am very happy how it turned out and my mom loved it!

Until next time!
