[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Scrappy blanket crochet project

Interesting.

 

This sort of follows along the guidelines for color usage on a braided rug.

 

At least one of the 3 strands of the braid is recommended to be a constant throughout the rug in order to tie the whole thing together.

Subject: [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Scrappy blanket crochet project

 

Last week I saw a crochet pattern using scrap yarn that sounds interesting. I think it’s called the scrappy blanket.

You crochet a blanket, alternating a row of single crochet and a row of double crochet.  Then you take pieces of yarn long enough to go across the blanket and weave them through the double crochet rows.  You can then crochet a border or leave the ends of the yarn pieces as fringe.  It said to not use yarn thinner than DK, and to make either the blanket or the scraps in a neutral color.  And the scraps don’t have to be the same thickness, which should add interesting texture.

Sounds like a fun way to use up lots of small balls of yarn.
