Update:
These Christmas Pixel Blankets have a secondary use as Christmas Height Chart Blankets.
Christmas 2022 is Eddie’s 1st year on the blanket.

This is a fantastic throw by Sarah Zimmerman of RepeatCrafterMe. What a clever girl she is.

Sarah has a wonderful blog where she shares so many great crochet patterns including this Christmas throw. Take a look here.

I have been meaning to make this wonderful throw ever since it came out and have been procrastinating about learning the c2c technique.

My stitches tend to be a little on the short side and this impacts when I try to make squares (not grannies), but it turned out well and c2c is easy-peasy:)

I made my first Santa square using aran (worsted weight) yarn, but he ended up too big to make a throw with, but it will make a great cushion, which granddaughter Annabel has already claimed.

At first I was getting a little tied up, with all the bobbins, but I have found my way of doing it, by using peg-like grips.

I can see more of these throws in my future. I may just make 2 or 3 of each square as I go. I will see what response I get from the family when they come to dinner today, as to who wants one.

Up-date Of course my two married children want one each for their homes, so three it will be.

December 2020 I originally made blanket number 3 for my home, but then my youngest daughter got a home of her own, so my blanket now lives with her. I’m going to make this Christmas blanket for my home now.
