It took me longer to decide on the pattern and colour scheme for this project than it did to actually make. Oh, the pressure! Oh, the self-imposed pressure to make a wedding present for one of my very best friends. The pressure to make something they love as much as I loved making it. Oh, the commitment! Oh, the commitment it takes to start on such a big project. When you spend a fair bit of time with any crochet project it is preferable to love it. Of course I loved making this big, warm and cosy wool blanket. And of course I wanted to keep it for myself once it was done!
Blankety facts:
* The yarn is Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10ply in Cream and Sunflower with a 5mm hook
* The chevron pattern is by Babylove Brand
* It’s 150cm wide
* I used six balls of each colour, with a little leftover (each ball is 200gm)
To Michelle and Tim, it doesn’t get much better than being married to your best friend. I can’t wait to see what the future brings for you both. I hope it’s nothing but happiness for many years to come. Thank you for asking me to be a part of your special day!

Best present ever, thank you so much Katie we will treasure it forever xx
That is such a lovely present and one to cherish. I’m currently making a new blanket for my double bed and to cosy up under when it gets colder. Amanda x
Stunning! I love the colours. It would have taken forever, simply amazing!
This is beautiful. I love everything about it!
Katie,
Your blanket looks amazing! It has inspired me to try-out crocheting after many knitting projects.
I purchased the babylovebrand chevron2.0 pattern linked in your post and have began my own project. I was curious if you made any pattern adjustments because your lines are sharper than the pattern instructions and it looks as if there are extra crochet stitches in-between the half granny squares at the beginning of the project.
Any insight is appreciated. And thank you for posting your finished project.
A new and inquisitive crocheter,
Katy
This is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I think I’m going to try this…
