Classic Mushroom Pixel Blanketby ~LunarJadeStyles

Artisan Crafts / Needlework / Crochet

This is my third pixel blanket.

It took about 60 hours and measures 109cm by 120cm. (It seems to have stretched a bit while I was working on it..)

This blanket was donated to the Desert Bus 5 (2011) craft a long. Money made from this craft goes to a charity called Child's Play.

It ended up selling for $2600.

Please check out these links for more details:

Extra information about the blanket:
It's crocheted. Completely made up of separated Granny Squares that were whip stitched together into strips and then the strips were whip stitched together.

I'm trying something like this and i have a question, When you sew the squares together, how do you hide the knots from the end of the yarn used to sew them together? I'm having issues trying to hide the knots and its gotten to the point i'm afraid that I'll have to use fleece for the back to hide it all.

~LunarJadeStyles Aug 22, 2012 Student Artisan Crafter

I don't knot anything. I bring the tail end through the seam I make and then I weave it into the stitches in a back and forth pattern. I pull on it a bit to make sure its in there pretty well and then I cut off any excess.

Does that help at all?

~zombieskayer Aug 27, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Yeah that helped. I had these terrible knots from sewing the squares together but i get what you did now and i'm going to try it and see if it works for me! Thank you so much!

I hope it works out. Feel free to ask any other questions and I'll try to answer them if I can.

No lie, I have been trying to come up with a mario blanket for my sister. I kept scrapping my ideas then last night I had this Idea of doing one made out of granny squares and For fun i looked for it on here right now and HERE I FIND ONE and it looks AMAZING! I'm soo excited to do mine!, and Its crazy awesome how much you sold for it

I'm glad you like it. Granny squares work really well for any kind of pixel blanket.

If you remember to let me know when you finish yours. I love looking at pixel art here on dA and I'd love to see how yours turns out.

This is sooo sooo soooo cute! I really want one. You have inspired me to make a pixel blanket but I would rather work on a 1up mushroom

~LunarJadeStyles Jan 3, 2012 Student Artisan Crafter

Thank you. If you end up making one let me know. I'd love to see how it turns out. ^^
