Is it wrong to crave colour? Bright, springy, summery shades that evoke warmth and flowers and sun-shiny happiness? I had barely finished the baby sock (And it was close, but yay to storm days!) when inspiration hit. Over on the Crochet Crowd Fan page on Facebook, a crocheter (Sandy Crochets) posted her finished creation (You can also find a wonderful photo on Instagram). Isn't it purty?! I just loved it!
My Rainbow Stash
And I had to make it! I looked through my Red Heart Super Saver and Bernat Super Value stash and found enough suitable colours--although I may be missing the odd skein.
Colour Plan
With graph paper and colouring pencils, I worked a workable colour chart for my bedspread. This will look cheerful and summery in the bedroom. I'm so excited!!
Reference Patterns
Since there was no pattern link to be found, I scrounged the internet and found a couple of similar granny square patterns. A regular large granny would work and so would a granny sunburst pattern. The one I used was from here (also called a sunburst granny but the centre is worked differently than others I've seen). You could also use this sunburst granny square pdf from Priscilla's Crochet. Both are free patterns (And You-Tube probably has lots of how-to videos as well--if you need the visual aid. I know I often need it). I modified the first pattern by adding a few extra rounds before working the last 2 single crochet edgings. I'll keep you posted! ;)
