It finally happened. As I binge-watched the third (and final - *whine*) season of “Anne with an E”, I finished off the last block of Scott’s C2C blanket. I literally heard the angels rejoice.

I started crocheting this blanket on New Year’s Eve when we saw a bunch of marked down Lion Brand Mandala at the now-defunct ACMoore (RIP). We picked up four of the only blue cakes left because I thought that would be enough to make a decent-sized blanket.

Hahaha.

We ended up having to buy more and more cakes until finally, this thing weighed in at 12.5 cakes, total.

It’s big enough to more than cover my queen bed, so you know this thing was a labor of love. It also weighs about eleventy pounds and is really warm, perfect for the global warming-induced snowfall we received for Mother’s Day weekend (when I actually finished it).

Scott, however, is super upset because Fritzy has claimed the blanket as his own:

Mowgli is also a big fan, using it for “making biscuits” every night at bedtime. All of which means I’m probably going to be making a few repairs on this thing until it eventually falls apart in five years.

Project Details

Pattern: I didn’t really use one. C2C is really just a technique that I learned back in college -mumble mumble- years ago, but you can find a lot of tutorials online. Here’s one from Moogly on the Lion Brand YouTube channel.

Yarn: Mostly Lion Brand Mandala, but I also worked in one Caron Cake I had sitting around hoping it would be the last cake needed, but no.
