[Nfb-krafters-korner] modifying a baby blanket pattern

[Annette Carr]

Hi Lilly,

I'm not sure, but I think I found the pattern you referenced.  The one I
found uses a chain stitch for the starting foundation and then uses single
crochets to form the blanket.  Since there is not any type of pattern using
a mixture of different crochet stitches you are free to make the starting
chain foundation any length you want and make the blanket with as many rows
of single crochet as you want.  If there is some type of stitch pattern
being used, then changing the size of the blanket will take some
consideration  of a couple factors.

HTH,
Annette

Hi all

 

I have been looking for solid colored blanket/afghan crochet patterns. The
best one I've found was a baby blanket. It gives instructions for modifying
it for the childs size. I have been debating how to change this blanket so
it could be a regular size. It looks like either the length of the blanket
is made in the foundation chain, and the rest of the patern focuses on the
other measurement. I am thinking that I could make the blanket either with
an extremely long foundation chain and then making the width from there, or
using the foundation chain as recommended by the pattern and making a lot
more rows. Is it up to me, or is there a reccomended way to handle this? I
am using the crochet.about.com baby blanket, if that helps any. 

Thanks
