Triangles Blanket in Seahawks Colors

For Mother's Day, I made my mother a crochet throw with triangles in the colors gray, yellow, white, and blue. Since I enjoyed making that throw and it used up quite a bit of yarn, I decided to make another in Seahawks colors. I am on a stash busting mission, and I originally bought a bunch of yarn in Seahawks colors with plans to make a bunch of Seahawks inspired hats and a temperature super scarf. I started the scar, but decided not to continue with that project, but I still had all that yarn. So, I used it for a triangles blanket.

For this blanket I used Big Twist Yarn in Dark Denim, Lime, and Soft Gray. The White yarn is from the brand I Love This Yarn. While crocheting this blanket, I had about 12 balls of yarn in my lap. Each triangle in a row needs it own ball of yarn, and you crochet with two strands.

For this project, I used my new size P crochet hook. This pattern is called Sunset Shades Throw, and can be found in the book Q-Hook Afghans for the Family.

With this project, there are tons of ends to weave. I like to weave them as I go, so I'm not overwhelmed with ends once I've completed crocheting.

Once I finished crocheting the rows of triangles, I added a dark blue border and a label. There are washing instructions on the back of the label. 😁

This blanket measures approximately 48 x 36 inches, so it would be a great baby blanket!

Or it would be great as a throw blanket for your favorite chair!

This blanket is now on my blanket ladder.
