My Kaffe 'Fusion Blanket' is finished!
Remember?
It's the 'crowing' project I began just after Christmas.
No?
Okay,
it's my very own creation
using Kaffe Fassett charms
and a mix of crochet & sewing
"Crowing"
This lovely little blanket
is made up of 48 charms sewn together
back to back
with blanket stitch run around the edges at 1cm intervals.
The crochet
proved to be a little trickier though,
On account of me making it up as I went along.
Not the best idea ever.
But
I persevered and now have a
spiffy lap blanket
that's a perfect fit for a cot or pram.
That's right,
I am bringing 'spiffy' back into play!
So there you have it
The Kaffe 'Fusion Blanket'
What do you think?

I have several scraps from making fleece blankets. I was planning to try something like this with the scraps, and after seeing your beautiful blanket, I have to make a few!!

Thank You! Thank you! Thank you! I am a visual learner and though the basics are in Japanese I am able to understand the directions because there is a picture. Again thank you so much!

Hey there Susan,
Thank you for posting your question. The 'Fusion Blanket' is really easy to make as it only uses a few basic crochet stitches - the Single Crochet, Chain & Treble (I use US terms).
The following link will help you out on those basic stitches (check out the How-To Manual) or alternatively there are loads of YouTube videos that teaches the stitches.

This looks so fun and I would love to use some fleece squares in the blanket design but, I don't know how to do crochet and I only know basic stitches. I am eager and still want to learn any suggestions? Thank you.
