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.

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.

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.
