I started this project just before the boys were out of school, after a trip to the store with Grandma. Agnes spotted very pink yarn, and Grandma bought me three skeins to get started on an afghan for Agnes’ bed.

I couldn’t wait, I got right to work.

One day in, and it looked like a really cute pink scarf.

The big kitty kept me company while I worked.

I kept the project upstairs, and worked on it whenever I had a chance.

Agnes also snuggled in the unfinished blanket whenever she had a chance.

I made a few yarn runs, and kept going. I lost count on just how many skeins went into this project.

I used our bed to measure my progress. I never take the time to properly measure, I just eyeball it. I was hoping that this pink blanket would be about twin sized to fit Agnes’ bed.

Finally, I was almost there. I decided to add one last skein of yarn, and weave in all of the ends.

Late Sunday night, I finally had it completed.

I couldn’t wait to give the blanket to Agnes. She has been asking me every single day if it was done yet…

For the pattern I used a J 6.00 MM hook, and it was a simple one single crochet, two doubles, and repeat row after row. I used Red Heart yarn in Pretty in Pink, and I’m guessing it took around ten skeins to finish the project.

She loves it, and I love the bright pop of color. It fit her bed nicely, and it is soft and cozy too. I’m going to attempt to make one for our bed next. We have a king sized bed, so I’ll be crocheting for a long time.
