So, I just finished this today. It's supposed to be a Christmas present, but she nabbed it and isn't letting go. Sorry it turned sideways.

It's beautiful! What stitch, and yarn thickness, did you use?

It's worsted weight. 4 I used double strand, so its super heavy and warm. Then it's mostly just dc with one skipping back for every set of four. Then the edge is single crochet worked towards the right for the last row to make it a little decorative.

You did a great job!
I remember when I was 15, I would obsessively Work with two strands of yarn in a dc.
I made every person in my family a double color, dc scarf for Christmas that year! Fond memories
Now that my siblings are older (and bigger) I should probably frog there original scarves and make them adult size useing most of the yarn from the previous scarfs! That would be such a nice surprise for them!

I love crocheting. Especially now that I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. I've pretty much made E a crocheted afghan for every year. Between the two of us, we probably have over 20 crocheted blankets. Only a little over kill. I do hats, scarves, and wristies (hand warmer), too. So many. E has a collection of animals and vegetables, too, but my mom made those.

I wonder if I should get my wrists looked at. Between my art classes/crafting/computer work it doesn't take much to get them aching. Stretching helps but not as much as I'd like. -_-;

I've also loom knitted a blanket (and hats and scarves lol). It's by far the easiest on my hands. Tho I wish I could get ahold of some of the finer looms so I didn't have to double up my yarn XP
 
It’s so pretty! I wish I knew how to crochet/knit, it’s a very handy talent to possess. <3 E looks like she’s in her comfort zone snuggled with that blanket.
Give me a few color choices to work with and I'll make you one! E’s is one magenta and one that goes through black, white, and grey.

For me, my fingers went numb every morning. I can tolerate pain, but the pain from this was like an electric shock going from my wrist up my arm. It wasn't the pain though, the numbness was so bad I broke so many dishes by dropping them.
 
Wow it’s such a big blanket! Did it take a long time to make?
I love how chunky and warm it looks

Thank-you! I still have one made from the same pattern that my mom made when I was 15. I call it my magical blanket because it never fails to help me sleep. That's actually why E choose this pattern. She wanted her own "magical" blanket. It only took about a week to make. I would have been faster if not for everything else life threw at me.

Aw that’s so cute :lolpony: And really cool that you still have yours from when you were a kid. Now you two can match!
Wow only a week? I knit a blanket for my cats (so way, way smaller)like 5 years ago and it took me almost 3 weeks so I was imagining this took you months haha
