New Geometry Blanket, maths revision
Well, maths has never been my strong point!
I had worked out the amount of triangles needed to make a blanket that was 9 triangles by 12 triangles.
Yes, the blanket will be 9 triangles wide, but 9 point up triangles wide, meaning there also needs to be 9 inverted triangles for each non-inverted one, doubling the amount of triangles needed!
The picture shows that 9 triangles isn't wide enough for a blanket.
Even sewn together, as you can see by the five below.
... I love the 'zipped up' look of the seams!
Also, I'm using all the colours I've already bought, including the blue and the orange, because the cat got into the bag I was storing them in and I won't be able to return them tangles and chewed!
I also bought some neutral/white coloured yarn today. The original cushion cover had some of it in, and I realised how important it is to the design.
There's also black, I notice now, so I'll add that too.

What method of seam sewing did you use? It looks so neat and pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it's called. I'll see if I can find a video. 😊
DeleteHere it is! It's called mattress stitch.
DeleteI did it a little differently than is illustrated in this video. She actually mentioned that some people go into the first bump on the other side - you'll know what I mean when you watch the video - that's what I do. It actually makes the seam look the same on both sides and the work lies really flat. Good luck! 😊
