A wheelchair blanket

Thanks to the World Cup, I’ve put in a few hours of crochet time and finished the wheelchair blanket.

It measures about 29″ wide and 40″ long. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft that I bought when JoAnn was closing.

The pattern is the Alpenhaus Ripple Moss Stitch and I think I chained 170 stitches for 8 repeats. I used an I hook.

There are 10 rows of green and 5 of gray.

I’ve made this pattern before and really enjoy it. Once you get the ripple going, it’s pretty mindless. I really prefer my crochet to be mindless.

I had quite a bit of yarn leftover.

So, I’ve started a second wheelchair blanket. It’s way too hot to start a big blanket right now. These wheelchair blankets are the perfect size

This is a Daisy Farm Crafts pattern that will be even faster. I got this much done yesterday evening. I’m doing 6 rows of each color.

Today I’ll be with my quilt club trying to sort out the mistakes I made in the project that I started last month.

    Such a great project for sports days. We’ve watched a bit of world cup. The Netflix series Quarterback’s next season started yesterday, and we must have skipped half of it. I really don’t care how these guys met their wives. On the bright side, pre-season football is less than a month away now.
