Upcycled Blanket
We all have woolly garments that we can’t bear to part with as they bring back happy memories, but are no longer worn. Instead of hiding them away, add them to a unique crochet blanket that will get seen and used, and become a treasured item.
This pattern is designed as a guide only. The size, colour and design of your Blanket will need to be adapted depending on the garment and yarn used.
Blanket is made up of 2 Motifs. One Motif is worked in crochet throughout. The second Motif is worked around a Square cut from your chosen garment.
MATERIALS
Any DK yarn in colours to complement your chosen garment; we used:
UK Alpaca Baby Alpaca Silk DK
2 balls of Blush Pink
UK Alpaca Superfine Alpaca DK
4 balls of each:
Rose Pink
Moss
Sapphire
A 4mm (US G/6) hook
A 2.5mm (US C/2) hook
Large sized jumper or cardigan
TENSION
Tension is not critical for this project, but it may affect the yarn quantities required
MEASUREMENTS
Our Blanket measures 166x117cm (65.25x46in); the size of your Blanket will depend on the number of squares you cut from your garment
