12 months ago since l made the camper blanket..wow!
and
I keep being asked for the complete Noo Noo blanket pattern and how too make it post, so here it is from
Post from February 2011
Noo noo needs a blanket for the bed and l did promise months ago to make one so my first bed cover is going to be for our beloved camper Noo noo...
this is the flower l am going to use, but still working on the colour choice
simple solid center
NooNoo Flower Bed Blanket Pattern
round 1:12dc
round2: 24dc
round 3: 36dc
round 4: 2dc 4chain leaving a stich space 2dc in every third stitch repeat 12 times sl st to close
collage of all rounds
round 4 close up
completed Round 4 should look like this.....
attach yarn here for round 5
Round 5: Attach 5th colour wool in between the set of 4 dc of the row below and do 8dc over the chain loop sl st to close the round and complete the flower
I used a join as you go method during the the 5th round to join the flowers together
I also used TWO DIFFERENT Round 2's for the Noo Noo blanket
1: was 12 dc with a chain between each dc
2: was 24 dc, 2dc in each stitch
12 PETAL FLOWER
An 8 PETAL FLOWER...made in 4 rounds not five
FOR THOSE HAVING PROBLEMS FOLLOWING THE PATTERN HOPE THIS HELPS
Substitute Treble for DC if you're in UK or AUS.....l work in US terminology myself
so confusing
FLOWER DETAILS...
Using an 6mm hook and two strands sometimes blended DK acrylic
8" diameter and l need to make it 40" wide x 54" long....perfect to go over the seat when not up as a bed
Making 5 x 7 flower = 32 complete flowers.....a nice size to do
and l'm keeping the wavy edge
This is the camper so do l stay with the green and cream and a splash of orange or go for the rainbow of colour in the flags?...
All l need to do now is a sample in the right colours!
l'll be back
TODAYS UPDATE:
decided on the colours..wanted to use the red flowers l had already made so did a bit of unpicking and added them to an orange center and the next round will be in greens
Also decided to do a different slightly more open center to the flower so the second round is
chain 4 as the 1st DC and 1chain space then a DC in every stitch and a chain between each
12 in total then the
3rd round is 3dc in each chain space
4th round as before
also working in rounds of colour....
hope the pic helps...
next round will be in the greens
loving it so far and Phil was pleased l was making NooNoo a blanket at last too!
off to eat dinner and then start the green round
