Knitted Blankets

Here are two brightly coloured blankets, made from knitted strips donated by a knitting group from MAST.  My task was to colour coordinate and arrange the strips in the most varied pattern as possible.  I tried to avoid having same coloured sections next to each other.  I have done quite well.  I used a crochet hook and red wool to double crochet the strips together and the same stich to edge each blanket.

This one would be suitable to lay on a single bed or as a knee shrug or wrap-around.  The wool is very soft and feels lovely and snuggly.

This one would lay over the top of a double bed quite happily.  They are both rather bright especially the orange/red one.

Infact either of these blankets might be good for someone who may benefit from the stimulating colours.

They both took quite a few hours of work just putting them together, never mind the time spent by others in the knitting.
