Frida Kahlo Blanket Completed!

I'm a bit late posting this as I finished the blanket 2-3 weeks ago. Can't believe I finally completed it after leaving it untouched for so long. After re-doing the wrongly crocheted 5-sided instead of 6-sided motif, I joined everything together, hid all the remaining ends and crocheted the border.




And below are a few close-ups of the different flowers in the blanket:




All the photos above show the crocheted border as per the pattern but I felt it was a little narrow for my taste and decided to add a little bit. So below is photo of the border after the few extra rows.





One down, one more to go! But I need to give my right elbow a little rest after all that crocheting! The blanket now lives in our living room and is perfect for those still cold February evenings.

Best wishes,
Frivole

  2. It is beautiful! Looks like it was a joy to crochet, and you can enjoy it on chilly days/nights, too. I like the added border rows.
