I’m finished! I am done with the blanket for my friend Jess’s daughter Mia. It turned out really cool! I love the colors she picked out. I used the Lion Brand Cotton Ease yarn which is 50% Acrylic and 50% cotton. It was all done with three pieces of yarn crocheted in at the same time with just a single crochet. Very easy! This blanket it soft and very warm. As I was crocheting, the blanket would lay on me and I would get very toasty 🙂
The other night Jess text messaged me asking if I would make Mia another brim hat as well! I had given her one for her 1st birthday but it unfortunately it doesn’t fit anymore. So I whipped up a new one for her in (almost) the same colors. This one turned out huge because I used a high size bigger hook than the pattern said. So I hope it works out for her!
I’ll be putting these in the mail tomorrow and starting on my next project! Kyle’s friend from his old work asked if I could make a hat for her friends baby. She just found out it was a girl so she contacted me with the colors she wants. I’m excited because she wants an earflap hat and I haven’t made one for a newborn before! I think it will look so cute for the winter. 🙂

The blanket looks great. I've never thought of crocheting with more than 1 yarn…I'm a beginner, too! Can you share where you get your patterns?

Love the colors!
I've done a blanket like this before, they go so quick and are indeed very very toasty! I used 2 strands, but really like how it looks with 3 colors.
