Finally completed the alternative granny square blanket and it now has a new name, because of the Black Tulip edging....
US terms
4mm hook
Stripes: col. Brights, 50g. 20% Wool yarn from Wilko's...a fab find.
Black/Charcoal dk: I have used an odd ball I have of Stylecraft Alpaca, unfortunately I've just discovered, its been discontinued so any black or charcoal dk you love will work here.
To create the Black Tulip edging I split one ball of the Stripes into the green shades [lime and jade] and joined them all together as one yarn and then joined all the remaining colours [yellow, orange, pink, purple], together to do the final round.
It used pretty well all of the yarn from a Stripes, 50g ball plus the black/charcoal yarn for the 'Tulip heads'
Too late last night to get a final complete blanket picture taken the light had complete gone...so i will add a whole Black Tulip Blanket picture as soon as its light again this morning
Enjoy x
UPDATE PICTURES..
None are brilliant, the light isn't good at all this morning but you can see the size. Mr T thinks it's his new blanket..it's not!
it fits the top width of a double bed perfectly..
