My very first crochet project (not including little things I did in primary school that I can't really call). I was very pleased with how it turned out. The colors are beautiful, and in most photos don't do it justice. The top photo shows the blues in its truest form.
Stretched out it's quite holey and measures 60" by 56"
I used Bernat Blanket
Yarn in Mallard Wood (blues/browns)
The yarn is Super Bulky (6), very soft and warm.
I used a 11.5mm crochet hook (P hook)
it's not much smaller when not stretched out, but it gives it a much fuller look.
I bought 6 skeins of yarn and used up 4 of them on the blanket.
Weight: Super Bulky (6)
Contents: 100% polyester
Skein Weight: 10.5 oz. / 300 g

Ch 3 and turn.
Ch 3 and turn.
1dc in first chain, skip 1 ch, 2 dc and repeat (the 2 dc
should be in between the “v” stitches front the first row).

When you run out of the first ball of yarn, tie the end
of the 2nd ball together and continue crocheting… trim any ends that are
sticking out.
Continue crocheting until 2nd, 3rd and 4th ball is used up… be sure to finish on the end.
Tie off end and weave in ends.
