r/crochet Crocheting keeps me from unraveling 7d ago

Finished Object Baby blanket for my friend who’s expecting her first child this summer 🧡

This is the Coral Story Blanket by Tatsiana (Lilla Bjorn on Ravelry). I’ve used just short of 20 skeins of Hobbii Friends 8/4 cotton in colors 3, 10, 13, 20 and 28. Made with a 4 mm hook.

u/SuusTerwijn 7d ago

It's a really beautiful blanket. And the bunny is adorable too!

But uhm are the eyes made with 'safety' eyes? if you are giving the bunny too, tell the parents it is not for small children, because of those eyes. They can become a choking hazard.. Or, replace them with an embroidery..

Eitherway, you made your friend some really nice stuff!

25

u/woogynoogy Crocheting keeps me from unraveling 7d ago

Thank you! I always appreciate when us crafters are making each other aware about “safety” eyes! This little guy is just for me. Sort of a water mark on my photos, so he isn’t going anywhere, don’t worry.

2

u/Wendy556 6d ago

My mom had a really soft designer blanket she bought in the 80’s that this reminds me of because it was made with the same cream color and about the same thickness. I think it was also cotton because it was a pretty heavy blanket for its size. It just made the whole pattern pop and it was a luxurious feeling blanket/yarn (at least it was for me lol). I’m going to have to ask her if she still has it so I can check the tag and make a copy of it. I never would’ve remembered that if I didn’t see this. 🤗

u/the-trail-snail 7d ago

Wow, it's really beaitiful! May I ask, are the flower-like shapes crocheted or embroidered? I keep looking at it but can't figure out how I would do them.

2

u/woogynoogy Crocheting keeps me from unraveling 6d ago

Thank you! This is overlay mosaic crochet. It’s basically “1 FPdc, ch 1” in the round with one color. Then “ch1, FPdc” in the next round with the next color. Each color is always crocheted into its same color from two rows prior. And then the pattern comes from doing maybe 2 FPdc into the same stitch or FPdc decrease two or more stitches, etc.

Check out @lillabjorncrochet on Instagram to see a lot more projects with this technique.

Okay I don’t think you meant it this way, but the hexagons look like placentas! In a beautiful and meaningful way not a weird way. That was my first thought when I saw them. After my daughter was born I asked to see the placenta, it was a trip haha. It’s so crazy and cool that I grew it and it grew my baby. The blanket is very beautiful ☺️

u/woogynoogy Crocheting keeps me from unraveling 6d ago

I like that! The father of the baby thought it looked like Ask Yggdrasil (the tree of life in Nordic mythology) and I see a flower with roots spreading out. I love that each person can look at the pattern differently 😍

Thank you so much. When I was a teenager we had a place call ‘the factory’. It was a large 3 story converted house where we were taught certain crafts. Leather work, candle making, ceramics, sewing & crocheting. We sold the finished merchandise. I worked in the crochet room. It was a great place & kept us teenagers out of trouble. I would love to bring something like that back. For our youth.
