Double Wedding Ring Blanket
This blanket was inspired by the popular quilt design of the same name. With its interlocking rings symbolizing marriage, Double Wedding Ring quilts are traditionally made by mothers and grandmothers as a gift to their children on their wedding day or anniversary. Heirlooms in many American households, these blankets are often passed down from generation to generation.
The Double Wedding Ring crochet blanket is made up of motifs that are worked in the round. When the motifs are assembled using the join-as-you-go (JAYGO) method, the Double Wedding Ring design emerges across the fabric. Each motif, after the first one, is joined to previous motifs on either one or two sides in the final round. Slip stitches and a special front-post join help align the stitches for a seamless connection. Finally, once all motifs have been joined, a wide border is added to complete the lace-filled almond shapes on the outer edge.
Six sizes are included so that you can make this heirloom blanket for a variety of special occasions. Whatever life event it commemorates, may this blanket bring joy to you and your loved ones for years and years to come.
