The Crocheter
My name is Mana (Manahil, actually), and I’m 23 year-old, from Saudi Arabia. After graduating high school back in 2007, my aunt gifted me some crochet hooks and yarn, and I didn’t know the slightest thing there is to know about crochet back then. I asked her to teach me and she showed me the basics. Then, I pretty much did the rest on my own!
The Original Pattern
Personalized Baby Afghan by Kim Guzman
The Story
I
loved the pattern from the first time I had seen it on Ravelry, and I always
thought it was too special to make it for just about any baby!
The Remix
I wasn’t too crazy about the heart border, so I decided to change it, but I wasn’t too sure of what else to make! I thought of afghan squares, and I had few designs in mind, but nothing really clicked, until I stumbled upon a picture of the Fantasy Blanket on Instagram, and I thought “yes, I want something like that!” also, the Mixed Stitch Stripey Blanket was another pattern I took inspiration from.
Crochet is... I can’t think of three words, I can only think of one... ART! Crochet is art, to me. ❤
What a kind and heartfelt gesture. The blanket is beautiful! Well done, Mana. You can connect with Mana as “manakhq” on Ravelry, Instagram and Pinterest. Happy Friday!
it's so cute !! I see the love for your died friend in this blanket !! I'm sure this little miss will love it because it's full of true love and babies feels that
