The term 'blanket' might be a bit misleading for the lovey elephant I showed on yesterday's post, though that's what the pattern says. I hope that showing it here with my hand in the picture will give a better idea of its size. It's just a little thing for a baby to cuddle.
I gathered my wits, as well as some beads, and had a go at muskaan's version of a tatted rope with beads. Scroll down a bit on
this post for the method. It's very clever, and not too difficult to grasp. Obviously it would take some work to get good at the method, but this is a first attempt.
Always love your color choices but to wonder if crochet would go faster? What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI do think crochet is faster, but there’s always room for different ways of doing things.
DeleteI love the blanket with elephant so sweet I forgot to mention that it would go good with nap time😊
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteIt looks like you have a good grasp of muskaan's version!
ReplyDeleteI love the rope and its reassuring to see different beads than those expensive bicornes (these might be expensive too?). Love your colors and that elephants is adorable!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely el cheapos! I think they’re a bit smaller than muskaan’s too.
DeleteShould be called 'cuddler' or 'comforter' rather than 'blanket' ;-P Not too comforting for the poor beast's neck, though , LOL.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the rope method! I was thinking of doing some simple stepwise diagrams eventually.
Still love that it's an elephant!! :) They are meant to snuggle with, not cover with. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou did it!!! :) You did a great job on that tatted beaded rope!!! :) Pretty colors too!!
I love your elephant, wonderful blanket for a baby
ReplyDeleteYou did it with the beads and the rope looks brilliant
