Frazada: Estudio en Cuadros
(Crochet * Stash-Buster)
I finished my first stash-buster blanket of the year…
Completé mi primera frazada con lanas
acumuladas…
A granny blanket,
in solid-color squares. Total squares: 108
Una frazada de la abuelita, con
cuadros en colores sólidos. Total de cuadros: 108
This is a gift “from
me to myself”…for the sofa in my study.
Este es un regalo “de mí para mí”…para el sofá en mi estudio.
Made with
one-color granny squares.
Hecha con cuadros de la abuelita en
colores sólidos.
Yarn: DK
acrylic. Hook 3.5 mm.
Lana acrílica delgada. Gancho 3.5 mm.
Colors: Brown,
Beige, Cream, Camel, 2 greens, 3 grays, Raspberry, Magenta, Antique Pink.
Colores: Café, camello, beige, crema,
2 verdes, 3 grises, Frambuesa, Magenta, Rosado antiguo.
A wide border
with Granny stripes in all the colors (except cream). And the final touch in brown. Here is a sketch of what I did for that last row…
Un borde ancho con franjas de la
abuelita en todos los colores (excepto crema). Y el toque final en café, con
una puntada especial. Aquí les dejo una
gráfica de lo que hice en esa última hilera…
It is an unusual
color combination, inspired by the decor in my study: brown sofa, green wall, and the
magenta/wheat/green artwork.
Utilicé una combinación inusual de
colores, inspirada por el entorne de mi estudio: sofá café, pared verde,
cuadros magenta/trigo/verdes.
I like the look of the blanket in this space.
Me gusta cómo la frazada complementó el espacio.
Oh my, aren't these solid granny square blankets gorgeous? I love your colours, they are so calm yet so lively!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the borders......so well done and look great!
ReplyDeleteHola, Bonita,bonita, Mi magusta assi!
ReplyDeleteThat is about it I am afraid. Your blanket is truly beautiful I am making a very big blanket just now. Could you please help me with a query. I am using the same yarn,the same size hook and yet some of the squares do not lie flat and have Madonna type bumps. I have always thought I had quite even tension when I am crocheting. This is causing me some disappointment in a blanket where I have worked over 500 squars
No magusta assi para mi frazada.
Hasta Luego Linda
Thank you, Linda. It is strange what is happening to your squares especially if you are using the same kind of yarn. I have not seen that! Have you tried blocking the rebel squares? Are you joining as you go? sometimes the squares even out when you join them. I really hope you find a solution, because it is such a HUGE project.
DeleteBuena Suerte (Good luck!)
Wow what a beautiful blanket. Love the colors and the border.
ReplyDeleteGrtz,
Chris

Beautiful. I like it how with a very simple pattern like this one you can make something so beautiful and as always I love how you combine your colours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blanket!! The colours are so pretty, and the blanket is perfect for your study :) Lovely crochet work.
ReplyDeleteque linda te quedo!! y felicitaciones por ser la primera que hiciste =) yo aun no hago una =S
ReplyDeletepuras ganas pk tiempo no tengo.
gracias por tu visita =)
besos!
I love it! The colors go together fabulously!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I love the color combinations. You must have used the join as you go method -- which I haven't tried, but read the instructions for and I'm not quite sure I understood them. The color of your study walls is the same as my bedroom. Lovely! Have a beautiful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThe more muted colours look beautiful! My sis and I work together on one last year, in brighter colours,, but I think this version might go back on the To-Do list. Well done.
ReplyDeleteStunning. The palette is incredible Ana.
ReplyDeleteUn trabajo fenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI love your blanket. X
This is simply beautiful. I love these colours together.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blanket.

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous and love the colors .
ReplyDeleteThe edge is real special too.
Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Well done.
Love it.
How did you put all those blocks together?
ReplyDeleteIs it done 'as you go'.
I have seen it before but never saw a turorial for it.It is a stunning blanket enjoy after all the hard work.
Thank you for your interest...Yes, I used the "as you go" joining method. You can find tutorials in Youtube (easier to follow because they are visual). I have photos to explain the how to and links to patterns here:

I really recommend this joining method; I use it a lot.
This looks so good I am going to try one in colours to match my lounge. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Let me know how it goes...
DeleteHola Ana!
ReplyDeleteMe encanta esta manta! ¿Me podrías decir qué marca de lana has usado?
Gracias
Hola, María. Usé una lana de marca Madame Tricote, del tipo Dora. Es muy bonita, con un lindo brillo sedoso. Es acrílica, pero suave y manejable.
DeleteVery pretty, this blanket!
