Finished Blankets

[tarnera]

This is just an organizational thing. I will be putting all the blankets I have finished in here, with pictures if possible. Each blanket will get its own comment, added to this post as I finish the blanket. The 'rainbow blanket' post will be updated as I finish the blankets on my 'to do' list.

I don't imagine I'll run out of blankets to make anytime soon, I keep thinking of new ones to make (and buying the yarn for them orz)

First blanket

[tarnera]

This blanket is made with the (now retired) Lion Brand yarn-family Cupcake, specifically the yarncake Coffee Break. I used 9 skeins, and while I somehow didn’t record how many stitches wide this is, I think it’s something like 400 stitches wide. Could I count the stitches now? Yes, but I think I would go nuts if I did. I did count 100 of them and then folded it to eyeball the final count. Might be 425, and I know I counted it out in segments of 25, so hopefully that’s roughly accurate.

I used U.S. size six needles (4.0mm).

Per this photo, the top is 8 foot 4 inches, the left size is 7 foot, the right side is 6 foot five inches, and the bottom is 7 foot 9 inches. This is not exactly accurate, as you can see the sides are all bendy and whatnot, and I measured it on the grass, but this is close enough imo.

This is the first blanket I’ve made. It was made in 2019, and I am fairly certain I started it in March and finished it in October or November.
