ReplyDeleteHi, could you tell me how many shades of blue you used in this blanket? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteHi,
Deletethere are 6 shades of blue there + white.
Thanks so much! This gives me a great heads up! Cheers from Brissy :D
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of sea-inspired blanket/afghan patterns, but I must say I really LOVE yours here. The stitch is very interesting visually, and I love your choice of colors. :)
Added it to my favorites on Ravelry, a must-make.
Thank you very much, glad that you like it!
DeletePlease could you advise how many starting chains will give the size indicated 180cm long. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay with replying!
DeleteMy gauge was about 1 PR (6 ch) = 4cm (1.5''), and the base chain has approx. 300 chains (50 PRs). I suggest to crochet the base chain using one yarn end, and to work the first round starting from first chain and using another yarn end at the same time. This way you can extend the base chain if needed and stop crocheting it when you reach the desired length.
Very nice! My daughter is changing her decor to a beach theme, this lovely afghan will be added! Thank you for sharing your pattern!
