Crochet blankets and throws - patterns please!! X

[blueskyboy]

Hey everyone!

The weather in the UK is dreadful so it's time to pick up the ole crochet hook and think about started a new autumn/winter project.

If anyone has any patterns for crocheted throws or blankets, I'd really appreciate it.

Well, that's it for the moment, but thanks for reading!!

Cheers

Matt

-Lots of blanket links (http://home.inreach.com/marthac/afghan.html)

You might also find some here (http://home.inreach.com/marthac/easy.html) and here (http://home.inreach.com/marthac/bulky.html).

Beware, though, you'll probably find some broken/dead links on those pages, but if you hunt through you can find some cool stuff. Hope that helps ya!

Thank you so much for that!! I've started a gorgeous afghan, which I'm going to make for my sister who is getting married next year.

Thanks again for your time, and check your dots!!

I designed a really easy and pretty afghan workied with two strands of yarn together, so It's very warm.

Mmm sounds nice, are you up for sharing the pattern or have a pic?

I'm just starting to do knitting again, I'm not brilliant, but winter's on the way, so will be nice to have a project.

Cheers
