Where does the Valentines Day come from?

Whilst I was scrolling through social media (as we do!) my eye would be caught by crocheted blankets with images crocheted inside of them. I always wanted to know how it was done. Some photos were showing that it was crocheted from one corner to another. This intrigued me, because it was a new, never tried by me craft! Most importantly all the blankets I saw looked so beautiful, and crocheted images were perfect! How do you do that? So, of course, I had to try it!!! I watched quite a few videos on it, apparently, it is a hot topic, however, the instructions and technique did not seem too complex.

Step 1

The process for preparation:

  • choose an image and draw all squares on a sheet of paper
  • choose a thread, and fingers crossed it will be enough
  • get crafty and let’s crochet!

Step 2

Once I started to crochet, the most difficult bit was to understand how to mark the rows, to make sure I wasn’t making doubles, and haven’t missed one! However, once you get in to it, it all began to be a bit clearer. And after a couple of hours, I could see the first paw of my Teddy 🙂 !

Step 3

It was so bewildering and interesting to see the final image that sleep was definitely NOT in my mind :). The following day, rows got a bit longer, and it became more colourful. However, the thread was everywhere, it started to loop and mix all together… Nonetheless, the image started to get clearer, and once you start seeing the fruits of your work, crafting and working starts being quicker and more pleasant! 🙂

Step 4

I wanted to see the result as soon as it was possible, but to be honest, I just wanted to see those eyes of my Teddy! I finished my Teddy Blankie in three days.

And Voila! This has been quite a reward for all the work! Pleasant. Cheerful. Cute. I love the result! You can see the image from both sides, and this type of crochet technique was extremely pleasant to make. So much so, I cannot wait to make another one! Next blankie here I come!
