Heart Baby Afghan in Teri

[crochetingmomof4]

I just finished this for a friend's baby. It is done in Baby Teri and is so very soft and cuddly!! Each heart is one square. It's so tedious to sew them all together and to weave all the ends in. But the final result is worth the time spent.

I usually avoid squares after doing one gigantic project using them...so many many many ends! That is just gorgeous though and looks well worth the effort. I just adore the ruffle

That's gorgeous! I'm not sure I have the patience to connect and weave all those squares, though. Well done! Patty

That is beautiful! I love the edging, actually I love everything about it! Too much work for this beginner though. I'm sure your friend will adore it.

That is absolutely exquisite. That baby is going to have to be really beautiful in order for people to take their eyes off the blanket!

How pretty!

Ooh, how pretty! Where did you find the pattern for that?

[crochetingmomof4]

Thank you Michelle. It's on the cover of a Leisure Arts Little Book called Snuggletime Baby Afghans. It called for sportweight yarn, but I really wanted to use Baby Teri b/c I had seen one on a baby at the mall and it was done this way - and I really liked it! But since the Teri is worsted weight, it would have been huge. So I made mine 2 large squares across by 3 large squares length. It was supposed to be 3 by 4. I also modified the order of colors on the border, and put a row of white between each color on the border. It's a an easy pattern to modify though. My nearby Michael's didn't have this booklet, but my neighbor found it for me at a Michael's on the other side of the city. I recently saw this leaflet at our new AC Moore too.

Wow! That is just beautiful. I love the hearts turned in every direction, and the edging is so pretty! Truly gasp-worthy.

[Stitchinpick]

I love what you did! In fact, I printed the picture and what changes you made. I think when I finish the granny I am working on, I may try that. What size hook did you switch to when you used the terry yarn?

 

Thanks!

wow, that is an absolutely beautiful blanket.

 

im telling you,weaving in ends is a real turn off for me....im on the lazy side i think...so i havent done any blankets yet that require being put together....but that really does look worth the effort!

[crochetingmomof4]

Sure thing, Etaria! In my spare time, LOL

Hey how come my winking guy isn't winking??

[crochetingmomof4]

Hi Stitchinpick, glad you liked it! I used an H hook.

[Roxanne]

It turned out lovely! I hear you on the sewing and seams...can take forever!

[linderkay]

I love it. I also love working with the Teri yarn. It is so nice and I agree, well worth the effort! Can't find that baby in the stores!

[momofgmd]

Very pretty! Great job.

Linderkay, my JoAnn Etc. store carries Baby Teri locally, and so does AC Moore. Do you have either of those near you?
