I challenged myself to a task for the contest last year: make two versions of a doily in different sizes. The “mini” version was to be made of thread, and the “mega” version was to be made from yarn. Here’s the final result of the larger version: a doily blanket.
The pattern is the Sunburst Pineapple doily, which is a rather large doily even when made with its intended thread. My blanket version was made out of the lovely Antique Teal shade of I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.
No awards for this one, but I do really like it. In fact, it’s one of the few crocheted afghans that I have out on display. It’s draped over the living room loveseat at this very moment. 🙂

beautiful!
Thank you!
This blanket is beautiful! Good job.
Thank you!
Wow, really impressive! Happy New Year!
Thank you, and Happy New Year to you!
Just beautiful! How many hours did it take to make?
I never keep track… I don’t think I would do these projects anymore if I knew how long they took. Ignorance is bliss. 😉
This is beautiful! I’m curious, though. How much yarn did you use for this project? And what size hook did you use?
Thank you! I believe I used an I (5.5mm) hook on this one – that’s the size recommended for this yarn. I really wish I could remember how much I used – I know it required at least one “emergency” yarn store trip to get more skeins. Lucky for me, they were from the same dye lot! 🙂
I think this is absolutely beautiful and is award-worthy! Wonderful!
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous you totally should have won something for this! Love the color
Thank you so much!
