Pick ‘n mix crochet blanket.

Mmmmm I love pic ‘n mix who doesn’t? and I love jelly belly beans really, really, really a lot …and…

I will never grow up, not never ever!

so back to the crochet….

I refer to Simply crochet issue 18…..it has a wonderful crochet pattern for a pic n mix cushion and a blanket.

I started a blanket immediately….of course I did! 

(no thought of wip’s that were meant to be finished before anything else is started)

its a v large blanket for chilly evenings….still a long way to go before it is finished…

……he is waiting under the table, just in case I drop a jelly bean…..

I decided to not follow the whole pattern, 

I literally ‘picked and mixed’ three of the patterns and used them like a patchwork block to form an overall repeating pattern.

…and then I was so inspired by the results I started another…!

It is not as wide as the other, so hooks up quickly…

The colours are more well dare I say pastel??? Big change for me?

and the pattern is just ever so slightly different, so slight you would not even notice it!

Talk about mixing and picking….I will keep you posted on my new wip’s…

Have any of you crochet fans started this adorable pattern in Simply Crochet Issue 18 yet?…its a Keeper!

Sending bestest sunny wishes to you all today
