There are 6 in each small pile. (6 different squares can be made with 3 colours.) 6 x 19 = 114. There are 33 in the last large pile. 114 + 33 = 147 squares completed.
Each square in the large pile needs 5 more squares to complete each set. So 33 x 5 = 165 squares still to make. Nearly half way there!
Now let's do some sums.
147 + 165 = 312 squares altogether. In order to have a double bed throw 2m long x 3m wide I should have 200/12 = 16 squares approx. by 300/12 = 25 squares. 16 x 25 = 400 squares. Oh no, not enough squares. Perhaps I'll have it a little smaller! I'd better check my figures.
See, maths are important! Who would have thought when we were at school we would be using maths for crochet!

It's going to look stunning. Those toes peeping into the pic are going to be lovely and warm under that come next winter :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the white border - so many crocheted things have a dark border. I've never learnt to crochet - so can I put in an order? ;)
I think you'll have to learn to crochet. There are lessons on this blog!

PS I hope I'll finish it before winter.
Flowers in the snow - I might start another blanket !! This is just lovely; what yarn are you using?

ReplyDeleteI just learnt to crochet from the tutorial on this blog (thanks Mum!), and so far I have 32 squares finished, but I've run out of wool! I have to wait until I can find some going cheap to carry on, but I'm determined to have a blanket ready for winter! It's easier than you think, have a go!
