Modern Kriss Kross Blanket

Hi all

I hope you are all keeping well and safe. It has been a while since I posted anything.... No reason why, I suppose it is just the way life is at the moment... I  have not been cardmaking recently as my craft room has now become my my office too. To be honest once I have finished work I really  don't feel like spending my spare time in there too.  But I know I will soon have to start again soon  as I there are some special cards I need to make and the 'C' word will be here before we know it ... 

However, I have really enjoyed my crocheting journey over the couple of  years.  I can sit in the evenings  and crochet while I  watch TV. It relaxes me and keeps me occupied.  I have created quite a few different pieces for people, from blankets to hats. It is so heart warming when something you have lovingly created goes off to a new home.

My latest creation I am particularly proud of, so I wanted to share it . I have just fallen in love with this pattern.  As far as I am aware there is no  pattern on the  www. for this design.. If there is one out there I have not seen it, but if anyone finds one then please let me know. 

My inspiration came from Attic 24 (Lucy) and is a combination of her  Cosy Stripe Blanket  and the recent Meadow Blanket. I adore all her blankets and colour choices. I have been wanting to use the Criss Cross stitch for quite  a while, but I just couldn't find a pattern that I was right for me.  Hence my blanket was born .

A combination of the Criss Cross and treble stitch.                 

I just love the colours I used  too.  Paint box Aran yarn in the colours Paper White, Pistachio Green and Blush Pink 

                                                    

I hope you like the pattern as much as I do.

take care xx
