The day after writing up the draft for the 10” x 10” Mini Blanket (back in May - yikes!), I drafted the following post on a 18” x 18” Mini Blanket.

After completing my 10” x 10” Mini Blanket, I took a trip back to Joann’s to get some more chunky yarn and start on a bigger mini blanket.

These mini blankets are great as photo props! They also work great for baby dolls!

Materials:

• L11/8mm Hook
• Chunky Yarn (5) - I used about 146 yds (2 balls) of Deborah Norville’s Chunky Serenity Yarn in Alaskan Blue and Lilac Chiffon. You will need 3 balls if you decide to make the matching hat.You can also use two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.
• Embroidery Needle for weaving in ends

Time Spent:
I was able to complete this larger mini blanket and the matching hat in about an hour and 45 minutes.

Abbreviations:
DC - Double Crochet
You can start with a FDC (Foundation Double Crochet) if you want to make your mini blanket shorter or longer.
CH - Chain
ea - each
SC - Single Crochet
st - stitch

Measurements:
17” x 17” plus 1” border = 18” x 18”
