My current project - twin bed blanket


I've been crocheting for almost 2 years, but have never made anything but a purse that involved making and attaching lots of individual squares. One night recently I came to the realization that I had 6 skeins of leftover baby yarn that were nearly exact matches to my daughter's twin bed set. She doesn't have any twin sized blankets other than the comforter, so I decided to embark on one of my largest projects ever. I found a pattern for a baby blanket using simple blocks here. I am expanding it to be 4 squares wide and 6 squares long, I will be adding a border, and I may be crocheting the squares together rather than whip stitching. I have 14 squares done so far! I will be back to post a picture of the finished product with a review of the pattern and changes when I am done.
