New Geometry Blanket, wip
Needles: 5.5mm & 6mm crochet hook, for cast-on.
I used this provisional cast on method.
Chain 29st with a crochet hook, but instead of using scrap yarn I used the working yarn.
The stitch on the hook counts as the 30th stitch.
With the same yarn, pick up the stitches.
Unblocked, the slingshot vs 'provisional' cast on |
Decrease row:
Slip the first stitch of every row,
K2tog, Knit to the last 2 stitches K2tog
Knit 3 rows
Repeat these four rows until there are 2 stitches left. K2tog, cut yarn, leaving at least 15cms, and pull through the loop.
To make the half triangle:
CO 16 stitches and knit one row.
Decrease row: Sl 1, K2tog, knit to the end of the row.
Knit 3 rows.
Repeat these four rows until there are 2 stitches left. K2tog, cut yarn, leaving at least 15cms, and pull through the loop.
Design:
I sat down today to plan out the design for the colours I'd bought.
I found this image online and manipulated it to the right dimensions.
But I didn't like the way they looked. So, I simplified it to just the neutrals and two colours.
general idea of layout/design |
Maths:
I've calculated the finished blanket to be 153cms x 204 cms.
Each triangle is approximately 17cms.
The blanket will be 9 x 12 triangles.
1 ball of Safirgarn yeilds 4 triangles
108 triangles + 24 half triangles = 108+12= 120 triangles total.
120/4= 30 balls of yarn
