I have made half a double bed size throw and am a good way through the second half (about 70 rows to do.
Stitches used are: double crochet, treble stitch, griddle stitch, v stitch, bobble stitch, granny stripe, berry stitch, half treble, shell stitch, wide treble, and puff stitch.
The plan is then to crochet stitch them together changing colours to match, then there will be a 10 round border to include half treble, double crochet, trebles, granny stripe and bobble stitch
The first half took six weeks of evening crochet whilst half watching tele, the second half got started on holiday in July and is about two thirds done I think the huge area for the ten rounds of border will take as long too
I wanted a) to use up some wool, b) to try lots of different stitches and c) make something useful although I doubt if we’ll use it on our bed - too warm - but it might sit on the spare bed, or my niece might want it when she sees it as she loves this kind of thing
I’ve enjoyed every minute of this project so far and have seen a lot of improvement in my crochet along the way I think I’ll miss it when it’s finished!
Disappointingly the photo doesn’t do justice to the brightness of the colours but you can get the gist
