Time To Design The Grannies Blanket For Bluey
What steps should I use?
This is a first attempt at making the Grannies blanket. The objective is to make a hollow 3-d shape that covers the head and torso without covering the face. Let''s start with making shapes for the 2 front pieces under the face. These are made as identical pieces, but one is for the left side and the other is for the right side. Next, the 2 pieces.should be connected by a series of chain stitches to form the face frame. By filling in each stitch of the front pieces and each chain the three become one long row of crochets. It will take several rows to cover the body.

The sides and top after several rows
For the back side it took more thought as to how it could be formed without unnecessary effort. As ideas unfolded the simplest method was selected. The method was to decrease a couple of stitches midway in a few rows. Using this method the top slopes downward slightly and the sides merge closer together.
