Crocheted Blanket – SOLD

Single bed crocheted blanket

Single bed crocheted blanket

This crocheted blanket was quite hard to photograph because it wasn’t intended for a queen size bed. I think it was probably made for a single bed, so the stripes should run horizontally not vertically. It’s a lovely blanket and it looks to be made of cotton, or a very fine wool, as it has more structure than a normal woolen blankie and is a bit heavier. I don’t think it’s been used much, if at all, as there are no pills in the wool. I think it was probably made of scraps – the coloured stripes end mid-row, which makes me think someone was using their left-over bits. I think that this blanket would look great in a child’s bedroom, and is perfect for summer when the duvet gets a bit too hot. With our humid Durban summers I find a linen sheet with a light blanket on top of it the perfect alternative to my down winter duvet.

Dimensions: 164cm long x 143cm wide

I have a bit of a thing for crocheted blankets – my own collection has got to the point where I need to have a blanket cupboard built! This blanket is a nice example of home-made craft, with a lovely blend of colours. The wool is quite light and the pattern quite simple. It does have a few pills, but is still in pretty good condition. This blankie would be perfect for a child’s single bed, or placed at the bottom of a queen sized bed as in the pics. Speaking of pics, you have to use your imagination a bit as I don’t think the blanket goes that well with my rather garish mirrored headboard – it definitely needs a simpler background to show it off properly!

Dimensions: 220cm x 150cm

I have a serious weakness for crocheted and knitted blankets. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I crochet myself, and can appreciate all the long hours that go into making something like this beautiful queen size blanket. Adding a homemade blankie to a bed is a great way of adding colour and warmth to a space, and an easy way of changing the look in a room without any work at all!
