My Christmas Granny Blanket is finally finished - before Christmas! It's a zig zag in treble shells. The stripes represent different Christmas themes. In the first picture, from the bottom up the first white stripe represents snow or snowflakes; the light green, white, light green section is mistletoe and the 3rd representation is the holly at the top. Each section is enclosed in the Christmas colours of either green, red or white.

Mistletoe |
Holly |
To add a bit of seasonal interest I enclosed some granny squares of poinsettia and ...
Christmas trees!
The white and red stripes represent Father Christmas.

And finally the edging is my 'holly' which is 2 rounds of dc followed by a picot edging.
Here it is altogether. The stripes were worked quite quickly but the squares took a bit longer as I was working out how to fit them into the zig zag.
Now back to my 2012 blanket which I think will now be called 12/13!

ReplyDeleteLovely blanket - very festive. I managed to crochet the snowflakes you had on your blog last year for the secret santa at work. They made the perfect home made present. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
