Timberline Homestead A self sufficient homesteading life
This is a project that I worked on during the winter months but forgot about until now. This was the first time picking up a crochet needle in oh.. about 12-13 years. It was a bit of a nostalgic project for me. I’d been taught many many years ago by an aunt of mine who was heavy into knitting and crocheting.
I started with what seemed like 1,000 of these little squares that are really quite simple to make. After a dozen they become tedious. Crocheting is a mindless relaxing past time for me so the tediousness really is tolerable.
Soon after starting I devised a bit of a production line. I’d crochet about 10 centers of each color first, then move onto the second and third rounds. I used 100% cotton yarn for this step.
All of the squares were finished with one round of white acrylic yarn to give the blanket some uniformity.
Each square with the white edge was sewn together. A scalloped edge was added for a finishing touch.
