I started this blanket when I was expecting my son, using a kit from Mary Maxim. It took me five years of starts and stops to finish – not because of difficulty but because…babies. They’re so selfish, amiright? LOL. However, I was pleased with the end result and by the time I finished my son was old enough to appreciate the gift! It now has a place of honor on his bed, covering up all of his stuffed “friends”. (His first comment was “you forgot to add a digger truck”. What’re you gonna do? Kids. Shaking my head).
The body of the blanket is crocheted, using three colors to create the blue background and the “road” stripes. Each car is then made separately, and two wheels made for each car. At the end, I sewed the cars and wheels on, using a blunt darning needle and matching color leftover yarn. I confess….I didn’t block it (the horror). Shhhhh….don’t tell the crochet police. 😉
