This is going to be a huge blanket from a drawing I made. It’s a Simpsons crossover with South Park, Spongebob Squarepants and Danny Phantom, four of the favorite cartoons of my gf.
The measurements are 396 stitches wide and 290 stitches up…. which makes a total of 114 840 stitches!! I’m using a 2 mm crochet hook, to reduce the size as much as possible.
I drew out the design on paper myself, because I couldn’t find any pictures that were good enough. That took about 10 hours, then took a picture of it and made a pattern from that picture, which accounted for another 10 to 15 hours.. Finally got started!! it’ll have about 30 colours in it :D
Total number of stitches: 114 840 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D Which will be my biggest project so far!!
08/07/15 almost 10%!! 28 rows done (10% is 30 rows, but well, couldn’t wait anymore) which equals 11088 stitches so far.. You’re starting to see a little bit of the scene going on at the bottom of the picture, but there are lots of characters still to come!
25/07/15 20%!!! Wooo! Man, I’m going to be in this for the long run!! It bloody huge! 60 rows, aka 23,640 stitches done :D And you’re finally seeing Squidward! Yay!! :) Really happy so far, a lot more yet to come ;)

FINISHED!!! Wooo!! Can’t believe I pulled this off XD I just…. :) I’m very happy with the colours and with the definition of the characters :D I uploaded the picture of my initial drawing too, from which I made the pattern. The colours are a bit off, but I had to use markers to colour and didn’t have the right colour for everything. Using pencils would have messe dup the quality of the picture afterwards
Now on to make a backside and a little border :P
