Crocheted Patchwork Blanket

This is a blanket I crocheted for my cousin's son.  It's made of hand-dyed alpaca.  I started by crocheting all the little blue & green squares then I attached them using a chain stitch.  Finally I made rows repeating the pattern dc, ch of the brown/grey color.
I love the way this turned out & the alpaca is so soft & warm.

Finger Crochet!


This is a scarf that I made out of alpaca ribbon that was hand-dyed by a local alpaca yarn shop.  It took me less than an hour to hand crochet this scarf.  I repeated a simple pattern of ch 5 then dc 1.  I love the chunkyness of hand crocheting a thick ribbon like this.  The yarn is so beautifully made that it makes the scarf look like a piece of jewelry.
