Love this colour combinations and thankfully i can source the showstopper yarn you used. How many skeins/balls of the show stopper did you use for your 48” x 60” please?

2. You won’t use much of the second ball but one is not quite enough.

I love this blanket. I like how you explained what to look for in a variegate yarn. I am planning on making this for a friend. I do have a question. If I don’t want the fringed ends, is there a different way to finish off the rows? To be clear the blanket is beautiful the way you made it, I’m just deciding what I’d like to do.

[@livechilllife]

Yes, you could trim them down and secure them with a border. There is a designer that specializes in mosaic crochet and she has a technique called a double border for mosaic blankets. If you do a search on that, it should pop right up. Tinna Thorudottir is her name.❤️ It will show you how to hide the ends.

You did not show the labels of the yarn. You say hobby lobby but what lobby lobby

[@livechilllife]

Oh so sorry! It is Hobby lobby, “I love this yarn”. Such a great soft yarn for blankets.

If it doesn't have cat fur or dog fur on it, it is not a real blanket.

[@livechilllife]

Thank you for the confirmation! I agree

@@livechilllife I'm making the tartan blanket, but instead of pulling three strands through, I am crocheting a chain weave through each line. using a smaller hook for the chains, so not too bulky. Will become a dog coat. hopefully.

[@livechilllife]

Oh that sounds fun! What color combo are you working with?

[@jackharrison7613]

@@livechilllife It's for my friends' dog, so it is the Strachan Tartan --- predominantly blue and green with red, black and yellow pinstripes. Your video has made the process so much easier for me. thanks.

Oh, that sounds like it will be a high energy looking plaid! my blanket is meant to be a little bit more tranquil, but I like colorful and tranquil both equally 😍
