This is my very first crochet project that was bigger than a bookmark. As memory serves, this blanket was start to ‘finish’ in about two years.

‘Finish’ because I didn’t technically finish this per the pattern. The pattern was from a Victorian Blanket pattern booklet and had a frilly, scalloped, very Victorian edging that had seemed so wonderful at the onset of the blanket project. As it happened, once I finished the main blanket square, the frilly, scalloped, very Victorian edging seemed somehow less wonderful, but instead rather more fussy, busy, frilly and overdone and altogether better not crocheted and attached to my perfect as-is blanket square.

The yarn details have been lost to time, as has the pattern used. Yarn and pattern book were most likely purchased from Hancock Fabrics circa 1993. My guess is the yarn is probably 100% acrylic. I could pick a loose yarn end and burn to test, but I don’t want to – it’s not that important. Ignorance is bliss…
