Throughout 2015 I crocheted many handmade gifts for friends, teachers, and family too. I had set a goal last year to crochet a blanket for each and every family member. That meant eight blankets needed to be made. I am happy to report that I made my goal, and I think my family appreciated the gifts too.

I think I made at least twenty scarves for the kids teachers and friends of the family too.

I also crocheted wreaths for Agnes and Dylan to pass out for gift bags at Christmas. I think I crocheted forty-five of them for the kiddos.

Here are some photos of all of the handmade blankets that I gifted this year.

I made this colorful granny-square blanket for my Mother in law. She was the one who taught me how to make a granny-square a few years ago.

I made this African flower blanket for my Mother. She said that her grandmother made a blanket just like this one many years ago. I think that is pretty cool.

I made this super cozy grey blanket for my soon to be Brother in law.

I called this one my granny-burst blanket for my Brother’s girlfriend. This blanket had little granny-circles encompassed in squares, and the white yarn made the bright colors pop.

I made this lovely hexagon blanket for my Sister (in law) . I loved the look of this blanket, it looks like stained glass.

I made this bright-striped blanket for my Brother. This blanket came together quickly. This one was the biggest blanket that I made, but it only took me about a month and a half to complete it.

Just in time for Christmas, I finished up these beautiful granny-square blankets for my darling nieces. How I love those darling little ones.

It was really fun crafting and crocheting through the year. I am so happy that I met my goal for handmade gifts. This year I’m teaching myself how to knit. Maybe I’ll make knitted gifts for everyone next Christmas.
