It’s December first and true to the time of year, it is freezing outside. BRRRR! The best place to be is inside where it’s warm and cozy. I’ve been using this time to sew, crochet and make cards. Today I will share one of my cupcake themed projects with you.
This is a corner to corner security blanket. When completed it is 25”x20”, which is a bit larger than a typical security blanket. You could make it smaller by removing 2 or 3 rows all around, or add more rows to the outside and turn it into a stroller blanket at 30”x35.” It’s so easy to do that with these graph patterns.
I’m in the process of blocking it, but you can see how the pattern turned out. I made it for my great granddaughter, who is almost 11 months old now. A happy little bean!
I apologize for the sun rays…it was difficult to get a true color photo.
One thing I did differently was instead of using a double crochet, I used a half-double crochet because I thought it would make a thicker blanket. If you use a double crochet, you’ll end up with a bigger blanket as well.
(To use a half double crochet in this pattern, the chain 6 becomes a chain 5, and the chain 3 becomes a chain 2)
I made some minor changes to the pattern afterwards, which you’ll see below. The cherry is slightly smaller. I have not written up the count for this one.
I’ve included a link of this pattern for you below. I believe you can print it from there if you’d like to try it.
That’s all for today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,
Carmen
A fun blanket Carmen - but I won't save the pattern as I have too many other projects on the go... including a knitted blanket half done. Thank you for sharing it.

You sound like me! Always something creative happening! The pattern is just there for whoever might want to try it…but I know people are busy, especially this time of year! ☺️
