Granny Stripes
are a classic! I made two blanket
versions using granny stripes: one for a boy and one for a girl…
Las franjas granny [lit. de la
abuelita] son clásicas. Estas son dos
versiones de mantas usando las franjas granny: una para niño y la otra para
niña…
The boy
version is made with 2-row stripes of the following colors: bright blue,
grey, white and light blue.
For the girl
version, I used a lovely multicolored merino yarn (Merino Gold multicolor, Madame Tricote Paris)
that has long strands
of each color, which made it the easiest color changes ever because it is
self-striping. I love the touch of
turquoise mixed with the girly colors: pink and lilac.
Pattern: Granny-Stripe Baby Blanket @ Maybe Matilda
(Graphic chart below...)
La versión de niño está hecha
con dos hileras de cada color: celeste, gris, blanco y azul brillante.
Para la versión de niña,
utilicé una lana merino multicolor (Merino Gold multicolor, Madame Tricote
Paris) con cambios largos de cada color.
Esto hizo que la hechura fuera más fácil pues los colores van cambiando
automáticamente, sin tener que cortar para cambiar colores. Me gusta mucho cómo combina el color turquesa
con los clásicos colores de niña: rosado y lila.

Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteSon preciosas Ana, qué manitas tienes :)
Beautiful! I especially like the pink one. I have a baby gift to make. A friend at church is having a girl and i wanted to make her something. I'll bookmark the pattern. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely blankets!
ReplyDeleteAs cores são lindas.
ReplyDeleteUm beijo
Your 2 blankets have turned out really well. I started one of these but my yarn doesn't suit the pattern as it seems to make a big loopy stitch at the top of each cluster of stitches. I'm trying to live with it, but I think I might have to pull it all out.
ReplyDeleteYou really don't know if a yarn is going to work for a project until you try it, right! But I am sure you will find a perfect pattern for it. Good luck, Una :-)
DeleteI was curious to see them finished, and I must say that they're really lovely... Thanks for sharing the pattern, I'm definitely going to try it. Have a nice weekend! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely :))
ReplyDeleteDo you sell these?
ReplyDeleteAmbas preciosas. Gracias por el gráfico. Buen fin de semana
ReplyDeleteMe encantan las dos... y el ovillo matizado para no tener que andar cambiando y tener un follón ahí de colores todos enredados, ya ni te cuento... está genial!!!
ReplyDeleteAna, you are so fast, I am amazed. I am working at a snails pace right now on my blanket. Both blankets are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
This stitch works up really fast, Meredith ...plus the blankets are small, for babies ;-)
DeleteBoth are lovely Ana. :)

These are just lovely! And the yarn makes it's own stripes of color? I have a daughter of a friend who is expecting her first and I think I will try this pattern! Your newest follower....Terri :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog, Terri. I think you will love making this blanket, because it is very easy and fun :-)
Deletepreciosas mantitas....y seguro que has hecho felices a dos preciosos bebes ;)
ReplyDeleteveo el diagrama , y no hay cadenetas entre los grupitos de 3 puntos altos ?
besitos andaluces
El punto clásico granny lleva una cadeneta entre los puntos altos, pero en el caso de una manta, es mejor no hacerla para que no quede demasiado calada.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up at last week's "It's Finally Friday Link-a-Long" at www.GoCrochetCrazy.blogspot.com and sharing your wonderful project! I invite you and your followers to join me again in this week's link-a-long!
ReplyDeleteWow Ana your blankets are so precious. Love the color combinations. I have 5 friends either having babies or grand babies. I would love to make one. How many stitches did you start with? Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou will be busy with so many babies in the way :-) I started with 92 ch (but it will depend on what kind of yarn you will use. [ I always make more chains than I will use, because one can always undo the extra ones]
DeleteI love the baby girl blanket!! SO gorgeous - I cannot find the yarn, however. Any suggestions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes...it is a yarn from Turkey (and it is unusual that wegot it in our stores!). But you could try using any "sock yarns". There are some with lovely colors (and it is similar to the weight I used). The clue is to get the ones that the color changes are LONG. I hope this helps :-)
