CROCHETING MY VERY FIRST BLANKET // CROCHET VLOG

Hi friends!! This was a loooong journey but I am so happy to say I've finished crocheting my very first blanket! I feel like I can officially call myself a crochet-er now that I've checked this off of my list! For reference, I crocheted this entire blanket with a 4.00mm hook using lions brand heartland yarn (I believe it was in the colors rocky mountains, canyon lands, carlsbad caverns, capitol reef, and badlands) for the primary colors and loops&treads yarn for the white trim!

[@bnamarie5528]

You could be using the same colored yarn but they are from a different "dye lot" making it have a slightly different shade

[@melanielocke]

oh shoot... like each batch is slightly different?? I had no clue that happens! But I unfortunately think that in this case it was two different colors bc they had different names😅

Beautiful blanket. I'm currently crocheting an infinity granny square blanket using blue and green yarn. It's going to fit a queen bed for the pastor of the church I go to and his wife.

What are the names of the yarn colors you chose? They are just so pretty together!

[@melanielocke]

I believe it was rocky mountains, canyon lands, carlsbad caverns, capitol reef, and badlands in the lionsbrand heartland line!

[@tuftedbails]

Hey girl! Did you follow a basic pattern somewhere? I can tell what you did for the squares but I don't want to guess on stitch count D:

[@melanielocke]

I followed a solid granny square tutorial and did 6 rounds total!
