The Memento Blanket Part 1- Valentine

The Memento Blanket is my memory saving journey through the year. Every month, for the next 12 months, I will be making a new square with yarn from my stash. The result will be 12 squares that I will join to make a 3x4 panel measuring about 100cm x 130cm. With the addition of a satisfyingly deep border, I am aiming for the finished blanket to measure about 140cm x 170cm.

 Each square will be made up of 16 smaller granny squares, either 1 colour or 2 colour half square triangles. This really is a great way to use up your tiniest bits of leftover yarn. In my February square I have little remnants from making my Granddaughter’s first baby blankets.  It will be a lovely way to keep my yarny memories safe for years to come.

There is a detailed photo tutorial included in this month’s pattern

Everything you need to know to make the squares is included with this month. Subsequent months downloads will include a full colour layout diagram and a photo of my square. At the end I will make full instructions for the joining and border.

A suggested colour layout is included, but go wild with whatever is in your stash.

I really hope you enjoy making this with me! I would love you to share your progress with me on Instagram with @madebyanita or @mycraftlife or on Facebook #Mycraftlife.
