Scenes Layout (Part 2) - Starting the Blankets (Blanket 3)

This post will look familiar! This is the same post that we shared a couple of times now. And this is the final one! Today we are sharing the layout for blanket number 3. Today we are dealing with the scenes, there are four for each character making it a total of sixteen scene graphs so you can use any combination of the four here. To make things easier we are going to pick the ones from Mario Monday this month but any combination of four will be fine.

(NOTE: This example is 20 x 15, but the graphs you will use are 50 x 35.)

Layout #3:

These first three graphs are somewhat "basic" we are just going to use the four graphs and then do a simple stitch around them. Now you can use any stitch you want to help grow these blankets. We are going to do three different examples, you can choose the one that you enjoy best or do one of each.

Option 1: Granny Stitch - Now there are many different granny stitches you can do. For this option we are sticking with a more tighter one, simply so we can show the example we have stitched. Any granny square type will work well. So like the example below, all the way around the rectangle we have created with the graphs, until you have reached the size you like or want for this blanket. (If you are crocheting a baby blanket it may be the perfect size without the added border.)

Option 2: This one is also a granny stitch but this one is going to work up much quicker and it will have more holes in it. So something like below, but again with the graphs at the center of the blanket.

Option 3 - This one is plain and simple, using any stitch you want around the graphs and then finishing with a border of your choosing (and even that is optional). For this purpose we are going to do half double crochets around, and then end with a ribbon border but that is totally up to you.

Don't worry if you don't know yet how to do these options we will be sharing tutorials all month long to help out!
