This week I decided to practice the pattern I will be using for the second blanket. The idea that I am following with this blanket is making many small sections then crocheting them together to create a large piece. I have never done anything like this at all, and I am hoping that I will be able to persevere through joining the sections since it is very time consuming to complete.
I found two patterns which I tested by making a copy of each pattern. Since the yarn I will use will not arrive until the week after next, I just used some spare grey yarn I had, so keep in mind that the final piece will not be the color I used here. I plan to use three shades of pink yarn plus some cream yarn for the border. I am thinking this could be used as a carpet for my room or as a decoration to hang over a piece of furniture. I far prefer the left option since it will be less likely to be too crowded with stitches and the second one was incredibly awkward to crochet since the stitches were so bunched together. I had already decided upon using a hexagonal pattern since I was inspired by a photo I saw of a blanket that used a similar pattern, although it used many more different colors than I am planning to. For the next week, I will finally round up all of the remaining yarn I have left in the correct brand to make the first blanket as large as I possibly can. While I am waiting for my new yarn to arrive, I want to make one more practice hexagon so that I can make sure I am ready to use the actual yarn.
