This lovely baby blanket/afghan was crocheted by me over the last few months. It took a while as it's quite big! I used the popular mosaic crochet technique which has seen a revival recently mainly due, I think, to the very clever patterns and techniques used and demonstrated by Tinna Thorudottir Thorvaldar (she is an Icelandic crocheter and pattern designer) It is her designs I have used in this blanket although one or two have been around for a long time but used in ways other than crochet. Tinna has called this pattern 'Havana' and any number of vibrant colours can be used but I kept this one pastel for babies! I've used white and a variegated pastel colour acrylic yarn to achieve the pattern and I have completed the edging using the 'double-border' technique where a border is crocheted on the back and front then joined together with crochet slip stitches. It is quite a substantial item overall and I say with confidence it is very warm!
The size is approx 33 " wide X 37" long. I have taken photos in different locations to replicate the colours as well as I can. It is made using yarn 'Sprite' by King Cole.

Thank you for looking at my hand made items
