CREATE YOUR OWN YARN UPDATE AND PROGRESS ON SOLID RULE OF 12 BLANKET..

Creating your own yarn range above picture

using several colours of dk in plain colours and this Rainbow yarn that i have a lot of but couldn't find a project to make with it until now...

PATTERN HERE

for the Solid rule of 12 circles and join

I am half way with the join a row every morning so it should be joined together by early next week...

Then an unusual border to be added i think 

 Final decision was to make a blanket 7 x 8 rows that will measure 

approx. 39" x 44.5" [99cm x 113cm]

final layout for 2 balls of yarn will very little left over so if i want any of the purple/pink yarn in the border i will need a 3rd ball 2 x150g balls has made 56 circles

CREATE YOUR OWN YARNS:

Progress on the create your own yarn range...

Decided on the join an open lacy version so probably best for a decorative coverlet or another wrap...?

 Open, decorative and secondary pattern for the Lacy join

 with the additional chain stitch decoration...

 .....a round of crochet chain stitches added to each of the circles in this blanket, matched to the plain yarn used in each...

the rainbow yarn is the same in each, but each circle has a different dk plain colour, some picked from the colours in the rainbow yarn and some different.

Work the plain and dk rainbow yarn together as one with a 5mm hook

 The rainbow yarn...but any mixed colour yarn would work with this method of creating your own yarn range...have a go.
