In the sample, the MC is Cream, CC is Tourmaline.īlock squares before assembling for best results. This blanket is made using two colors, the color used for each round/row is indicated at the start of each round/row as MC or CC.

They’re are assembled on the bias to create a fun visual effect. I decided a granny square project fit the bill, and so the Trudie Afghan was born! This blanket is made up of two tone granny squares and triangles. It was fun! Of course I needed a simple crochet project to work on during those many, many hours of movies.
My daughter and I actually had a Marvel marathon and watched every movie in order. That’s meant a lot of family time (good), snacking (not so good), and Netflixing. Like most of you, I have spent the last few months sequestered at home. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve started several, but finishing them has always been a bit of a challenge for me. It has been ages since I last made a blanket.
