Crochet blankets #3,4,5


  
Disclaimer: This is not my work. I only joined the squares into blankets. To learn more about the drive, read here.
 
I am slowly coming to an end posting about the crocheted blankets. These are the three ones that were the most challenging. Most of the squares were either bigger or smaller than the required dimensions we had for the squares, but we didn't want to diminish the ladies' effort and time they spent making the squares, so we took them all. 
 
Now joining them together was a bit of a hustle, tweaking here and there, frogging and also adding rows (rounds), but in the end everything turned out fine.

There is just one left to be shown- and that's my own. And with that one, I will end the series and we'll focus on the next project for the upcoming winter.

The Cosmos Blanket (blanket #2)

 

Finally, all 5 blankets are joined, washed, and ready for delivery! It's been an exhausting task as we had a scorchingly hot August, where I could barely hold the squares with my hands, but the effort was worth it!
For you that are new to this post - we are working on a project where we make blankets and/ or squares to be joined into blankets for a local orphanage. The idea behind is that the kiddos will have a handmade, heirloom blanket to hold on.
This is not my work - I only joined the squares and added the border.
