Crochet, geometric patterns, and a challenge….. what’s not to like?
The particular challenge was to create a blanket using sock wooI, and I immediately knew I wanted a graphic pattern, and a quick search for “geometric crochet” and “houndstooth crochet” on Pinterest, gave a wealth of possibilities.
Color swatches were made, and so was my decision to go with a rather bold combination. As you can probably see, the blanket is crocheted following the “tapestry technique” – nothing to be scared of, really. In my Norwool Blanket-pattern I’ve included some links to helpful videos, as well as my own tips. One important hint is how to carefully (and easily) “manage” your working and non-working yarn.
I so liked everything about this project and its journey: the pattern, the colors (black is a color, right?), the softness of the blanket, the rather repetitive and thus mindful making, plus – now that it’s finished – its warmth and comfort.
