Life's Not A Race
“A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn ‘round when your heart rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart knows
That life’s not a race”

Life’s Not A Race…but sometimes it’s fun to go fast!
The Life’s Not A Race crochet blanket is easy, speedy, fluffy fun.
A simple stitch lets the colors do all of the talking. Perfect for quick gifts. The stitch pattern is all double crochet (US terms) in between the stitches. So easy!
This is a great pattern for crocheting in dark rooms, while watching television or caretaking, on road trips, or for crocheters with limited sight. Photo tutorial included in the pattern.
This beginner level 1-day or weekend project is designed for self-striping dk weight yarn such as Lion Brand Mandala yarn.
Requires 4 cakes of Mandala yarn or 2,360 yards (2,160 meters) of any yarn. The yarn cakes do not have to match and this is a great pattern for unique cakes (mandalacorns).
The blanket uses double crochet stitches in US terms and dk weight yarn held doubled. Experienced crocheters in a hurry can make it in 4 to 5 hours or less. No rush, though, life’s not a race! The blanket grows quickly even if you relax and take your time.
